Mother Earth brought forth
the sun and moon
Twin births, but opposite side of coin


The sun, her power and her glory, pride
her golden girl, her shining daughter
filled with love and life and laughter
beaconed the world to come to her side


Meanwhile, moon child
sulks in her dark boudoir
Not always in favor, occasionally smiled
with wan, saprophytic light
reflecting, rather than giving
grieving this lack
turns back
to wire rim shadow
and waits for strength
to be reborn
