    • Very excited and very grateful. My son Michael will be coming back to American soil in about 12 days I want to thank all of you for your prayers and well wishes and strength.

    Sun Sleep

    The Sun is slowly losing the tug-of -war
    She is having with the Moon.
    The angels call to her.
    They have made a bed for her of soft clouds.
    Reluctant,
    She gives in to the temptation.
    Rest yourself,
    Tomorrow will be here soon enough.
    And again
    You will send gentle kisses
    To light my day.

    Reluctant, indeed. who wants to sleep? i have explored the same struggle in a few of my writings (sun/moon)- the two competing for the earth's affection. each sacrificing, when the time comes, their temporal audience.

    Mlea, I truly enjoy reading poems such as this one. I love how you've captured the evening. This reminds me of a line of Shakespeare. "Arise fair Sun and kill the envious Moon For she is sick and pail with envy that thou her maid are far more fair than she"

    Interesting, simple. I am glad it did'nt take too many words for you to get to the next day. I like "the bed of soft clouds" where the sun has to sleep.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
