Borrowing a Bit of Sunlight
You were the sun.
The center, the retainer,
The leader that held us all together.
I was afar, but I looked rather close
To all of those on the earth’s surface.
The miles were vast,
But in reality,
The expanding universe was much vaster.
I held myself up,
But you held me much better.
Your vibrancy,
Your light
Shined off of me.
I reflected you gratefully, I accepted the task;
I was lucky enough to be the moon.
And, oh, how marvelous we looked together
High in the sky,
Together at noon.
You were the sun.
The warmer, the director,
The spirit that always kept us together.
I reflected your spirit and took it for my own;
I felt unworthy, but I still was the moon.
And, oh, how marvelous we looked together
High in the sky,
Together at noon.
