This poem was the 1st Place Winner in our 3rd Annual Poetry Contest.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We were opposites, she and I,<\/p>\n
She of the earth and I of the sky.<\/p>\n
She ruled day while I ruled night,<\/p>\n
She worshiped the ground as I took flight.<\/p>\n
But even so we longed to meet<\/p>\n
To have our faces lay cheek to cheek,<\/p>\n
But we danced to different tunes,<\/p>\n
She the sun and I the moon.<\/p>\n
Yet, she lit up my dark, I calmed down her day.<\/p>\n
Was that the way things had to stay?<\/p>\n
Consumed by darkness and forever apart,<\/p>\n
I almost destroyed what was left of my heart.<\/p>\n
But she of the earth was stronger than I,<\/p>\n
She danced to the sun, a fire in her eyes.<\/p>\n
Moving the sun with her tale of romance,<\/p>\n
The sun shared of its light to give us a chance<\/p>\n
So, one by one, they came to appear<\/p>\n
Little Suns in the night, so magic and dear.<\/p>\n
A sign of true love, or so the tale goes,<\/p>\n
That she shared of her sun to lighten my woes;<\/p>\n
I laughed in joy at their beautiful glow,<\/p>\n
And so the wind sang to her down below.<\/p>\n
We dance to the tune, of wind and starlight;<\/p>\n
Now bound together, our love shines bright.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
