Sun and Moon

Whilst in the light of the moon, I open my notebook of poems I've written, gaze at the heavens and all of its harmonious planets and stars. Whilst my mind wonders, how can I put into rhyming and romantic words how pleasing the aureate sun is against cerulean sky, its clouds that sail across. Musing of earthen colors that make up the earth that turns as does the changing seasons; the snow-capped mountains, lush forest, and seeds taking root, stimulating waterfalls cascading down into the depths of streams and rivers towards the ocean. I become filled with wonder at the sand dunes that move across the ground in wind, the complementing blazing hot sun painting the skies a tangerine-lavender while melting over the corners of the horizon. Tantalizing is the turquoise ocean's and life in its briny water, whilst waves walk back up to its shores, warblers sing and spread its wings and fly across the sky. Enthralled by sensation of nostalgic moon, swept away in love upon the sun rises. 5/29/2020 The Sun And The Moon Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Chantelle Anne Cooke
