sisters of presence

sisters of presence, the sun and the moon,
encompass the earth like the curve of a spoon.
and never the one will leave the sky of space,
just to mock the movements that shadows chase.

the design of the cosmos insists they stay,
to array the sphere within their rays.
always awake, always alive,
filling with energy the saturnine sky.

moon monitors space when all is black
sun takes charge when the day is cracked.
whether night or day, neither leaves their post,
loyal sentinels over sunlit or darkened coast.

sisters of presence, the sun and the moon,
their only distinction is who’s in charge.
intelligent designs of the cosmos large,
taking turns, creating beauty with celestial rune.
