Shadows that touch

sorenbarrett

Day and night lovers be, holding hands of dawn and twilight over land and sea
Parting at kiss of daybreak and losing finger grip in the pull of dusk's wake 
In the shadow of dreams the queen sleeps while the king awake fire keeps
Isis and Helios a touch forbidden forever in dim light must remain hidden

          The sun and the moon watching over us while lovers love.
          They all need each other on their journey as the earth sleeps.

        • Thomas W Case

          There’s a lovely mythic quality here, turning day and night into doomed lovers forever reaching for each other. The final image of Isis and Helios makes that separation feel damn ancient, forbidden, and inevitable.

                Enjoyable Poem on the Two Lovers called Day and Night.
                Maybe during a Total Eclipse they might sneak a kiss.

                    Soren, this captures something I have always loved about transitional light...for a few moments, opposites cease competing and share the same sky. You have turned that natural wonder into a tender mythology. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
