King of day queen of night

sorenbarrett

The sun in rivers does run, to its sea on the ground
wetting all around, reflected echoes resound, yet not a sound is found
Currents of light pour morning to night, islands of shade drowned
An incoming tide won't be denied under rule of Helios crowned

From below shadows grow, dark hands reach to the sky
Out of a star challis sip, firm in Isis grip, drink moon dreams supply
Drunk in sleep, images creep evaporated light sun's sea dry
a tomb turned womb, sleep deep with the queen on high

      Thanks Neville they say the sun never shines on the dark side of the moon but I doubt it. Its all a matter of perspective. Appreciate the read

          Should they spin enough around each other then they may meet at all points at some rotation, perhaps. Don’t know enough of that science to calculate.

              Some lines seem to come from the centuries of Nostradamus !
