The sun and moon

Night and day day and night

The continuing struggle the eternal fight 

Like a dog who chases his tail around 

The sun goes up the moon comes down 

 

The sun with its bright golden glow 

Bathing the earth far below 

Brings light and life and warmth to feel 

Round and round a spinning wheel 

 

The moon comes out to chase the sun 

Cool relaxing darkness when the day is done

Spreading its shadowy cloak across the earth 

The eternal symbol of death and rebirth 

 

So round and round they dance and chase

And neither sees the others face

So when you look into the sky

Enjoy the dark or shade your eyes

 

Just enjoy the golden beauty of the day

And love the night when the moon will play
