Sun has vanished
moon peers over the plains
gently she whispers
“where have you gone?”
“Radiating light
to other parts of the world”
He booms
None too quietly
She smiles in her dark solitude
Knowing all is well
He is content
In his world
Even when he is gone
he inspires
She glows with pride

Thank you for visiting Moondustwriter. One of the many exciting things I've had the honor of doing is writing with an E. African team that is developing elementary curriculum for African children. As a writer, it is a thrill to help children (on all continents) who want to learn.
I've been part of the blogging community for more than 10 years. Some old timers may remember the award winning (2011 Twitter Shorty ) blog community - One Stop Poetry. I was the co-producer of that fast growing blog community.
I am a published writer, poet, artist and photographer. I have written, as well as edited, for periodicals, radio, blogs and fellow writers.
There are many facets to this moon - thanks for stopping by.

Beautiful! Reminds me of the poetry of Hafiz and other middle eastern poets. He tells stories of the sun and moon as friends and lovers.
