The Moon and the Sun

by barry-pietrantonio

The Sun shines, the fog blinds, together they make, a rainbow in the sky. The Moon stares, into a lake, and wonders why, he's a big mistake. Why can't he be the Sun, and light up the day. Why can't he be the one, to make the bad go away. Why can't he be the light, that brightens everyones day. Instead he sits in the night, wishing the Sun would go away. The Moon glows, the stars show, a pattern of love, that lights the Earth below. To himself, the Sun confides, that he wishes, he controlled the tides. Why can't he be the Moon, and turn darkness into light. Why can't he be the one, to light up the great night. Why can't he have the grace, of being with the stars. Instead he sits up in space, wishing he could take his place. But what they both don't know is, they need each other. What they both don't know is, that they are brothers. We live in jealousy, envying each other. Please, just be thankful, and happy for others. The Sun needs the Moon, to keep the night lit bright. The Moon needs the Sun, to produce his shining light. The Sun needs the Moon, and the Moon needs the Sun. If they work together, they can be one. If they work together, they can be one. if they work together, they will be one. If we work together, we could be one. If we work together, we will be one.
