The Sun Rises--The Moon Sets

The Sun Rises- -The Moon Sets 


Think of life, the cycle of 
How radiation can support life, enough heat to
Ensure a stable self sustaining system.

Something like our RA,  peasants producing
Under this celestial god. He may be dull at times, but
Never far from active.

Rising to all inhabitants.
Imitated by many, but none can capture
Something so surreal. For many hours 
Everything thrives into productivity only to
Soon fade. 

Telescoping images of you in the night
How warm is your glow soft blue white
Ever circling the world we call home

Master of revolution, elliptical, precise
Omnipresent, effervescence
Orb of the night, silent in flight
Never failing, glowing light

Shimmering beauty, through magnified eye
Emitting a wondrous, magnificent sight
Torched your surface, by meteor showers
Shine again tomorrow, I'm forever yours   



This poem is written in the Acrostic style by father and son..
SUN written by son, MOON written by father

Jared, I like the idea that you and your father wrote this together. (I guess I just assumed that you were the son???) Anyway, the father and son idea is great. The blend of your styles was perfect as was the flow of the poem. Very nice. Lovingly, Dane Ann
