The Sun and Moon

tj hatton

A poem for the imagination

The Sun
Sat on the horizon
As the Moon
Peeped
Over the hill
Said
The Moon to the Sun
I'd
Like to shine
But I see
That your glowing still
Said
The Sun to the Moon
Shine on my
Friend
And I bid you
A very good night
Said
The Moon to the Sun
I'll stay
Until dawn
Then
I'll fade in the warmth
Of your light.
