Like the glow of the moon Glows the face of every woman Like the grace of the moon Goes above the fashion of every man Alike in many ways Be it in grace or in face Woman and the moon go way back
Like the shine of the sun Shines the semblance of every man Like the service of the sun Outvies the avail of every woman Alike in many ways Be it in service or semblance Man and the sun go way back
Like the twin celestials of the skies Must complement the man and the woman Like the two lights sharing a full day Must share the glee and the gloom To make their two alright selves as one good self And grow rich in the time they stay around For the man and the woman go just as way back.
DRIFT Man and woman share so many similarities with the sun and the moon. A full day isn’t complete without the sunlight during the day and the moonlight during the night, gracing us in turns. Earth wouldn’t exist much less prosper without any of the two. In the same way, the bond between man and woman cannot flourish if they don’t learn to complement each other. Man and woman are alike in many ways but aren’t the same. They must not try to outclass each other in every aspect. A man must do his work, the one he’s good at, and his woman must support him. A woman must do her work, the one she’s good at, and her man must support her. They are more complete together than alone. NOTE This poem was taken from my novel Shambala Sect. A poem of the West that’s gotten ever so popular in the East. It’s written by a character named Surya Chand.
