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

This was beautiful the way you referenced to the sun and moon as more or less; frenemies, each fighting to be eternal. I for one loved this poem. I like to see other people´s viewpoints. In my eyes, I have always seen the sun and moon as distant partners you know? That work together but your poem was refreshing and I prefer your take on it. It's always nice to know others persepctives
Thank you so much, that really means a lot to me know that you enjoyed it. The idea came to me as I was working outside on the road and the whole thing just flowed out of me
I really enjoyed reading this!
It definitely made we stare at the moon and reflect.
Thanks for your comment, that was totally what I was hoping for. Sometimes stopping to reflect Brings the greatest inspiration
