The sun and the moon

The rising sun brings hope
Light breaks the night
Warmth wraps us
Shining bright with energy
The sun is life for all

The sun is the new day
The sun is the fresh start
The sun clears the despair
The sun brings us joy
The sun passes and let's in the night

The moon rises as the sun fades
The darkness is given hope
The shiver is less
The fear fades
The moon is the beacon of hope of the night

The sun still dances with the moon
The moon needs the sun to be
The moon will pass too
And give way to its friend
The sun comes to start hope again

The sun and the moon
The yin and yang
The universe and life
The balance 
One exists for the other
Light exist because of dark

Watching a river

‘Old Father Thames’ by Philip Dodson

Watching the river

It flows endlessly
It flows past
The water shimmers past
The sky is reflected in it
The river is looking for the sea

The river does not fear reaching the sea
The river does not hold back
The river does not wait
The river is brimming with energy for its journey
The river knows its purpose

The river is watched by a man
He sits and watches it pass
He wonders about the river
He is taken by its purpose
He is in awe of its mighty flow

The man ponders life
The man ponders his life
The man thinks about his purpose
The man thinks about his journey
The man pauses and realises he fears the sea
