The Sun And The Moon, You And Me Poem by Asha Iyer Kumar

The night has a story to tell
Which the day will never know,
The day too has a story
Which the night will never know.

Like lovers mired in their own inconsistencies,
Pushed to two corners of time,
The sun and the moon
Will live their lone cosmic tales,
And from their wounds will drip
Yellow rain and white snow
Flooding the ravines below.
Between them, the earth
nursing her own bruises and brown woes,
Will spin new stories from old memories,
And create her autobiography.

The sun and the moon - you and me,
Our orbits, our destinies, our borrowed histories,
Beyond it all a black hole
Where we will fuse
Into a mass of molten harmony.

What our gravities forbid,
The vast nothingness will allow.
