Contrasts



  ast                             Contrasts (Free verse)
                               -------------------------------

                                  The Sky is vast, infinite unbound
                                   The Earth is  finite and bound
                                    and we live on it
                                    but living on Earth we've desires
                                    always skywards and unbound!


                                    The Sun shines all day long scorching
                                    The Moon takes its shine from the Sun
                                     and shines all night its rays cool and soothing
                                     thus remains night's darling and poets' source of imagination !
