Moon and Sun

Moon and Sun

A Poem by Careline

He was
the

Sun

And now,

I am the

Moon

He was the one

Who basked

In the light

And I am the one

Shrouded in darkness,

Hiding.

Hiding from the

Light,

Hiding from

Him

And I tell them,

“The Moon only

reflects the light

it’s given.

The Moon

sheds no light

of it’s own.”

In short,

I am not the hero

I pretend to be.
And yet, they still

Look up

And adore me.
-
I was one of the people

Who walked around

In the daytime

And smiled
at the Sun.

But I was also the one

Who relentlessly

Searched

For the Moon

In daytime.

I was one of the people

Who used to shine

Or maybe, perhaps

I never did.

Maybe I was meant

To dwell in the dark,
And it feels like

A warm, thick blanket

Covering me.

But shine the Light on me

And the comforting image

Cracks.

You can find me

Crying

In the Light

You can see me

Clearly

In the light

You can chase me

Running

In the light

I’ll scramble to the dark

And before I leave

I’ll murmur,

“Don’t find me”

But he always claims,

I am the one bright spot

In the night.

I really like this and how it flows, a very nice way of using the sun and the moon. Throughout the whole thing I can see the sun setting and the moon shining forth, reflecting the suns rays.

Good Job

I'm a 17 year old girl, just trying to make her way through the dark. Some of my writing is very rough and emotional, and I write almost exclusively in free verse. Sometimes I look back at my writing .. more..
