The Sun and the Earth



The moon then lits up the earth so well,
But not as much as the sun does so bright,
Although the earth is forever grateful,
Cause the moon saved it from the dark night’s fright.

The moon and the earth stay in a bound touch,
Until the dawn clenches and holds the darkness in a grip,
The night then fades away at a leisurely pace,
And into the horizon some sunshine slips.

Oh how dearly the earth welcomes the sun,
With a beautiful and bright crimson tint,
As if embarking it’s welcome after so long,
It looks at the sun with a squint.

The sun too looks golden in hue,
As it meets the earth again,
The fear of the earth has vanished now,
It now welcomes it’s honourable aine.

Here the moon fades in the sky lit with sunshine,
Leaving it’s remains for the next night,
Gradually growing cresent in shape,
Gradually fading in the reflected sunlight.
