CONTRAST

Long before the morning sun awakes

You are up to see the shine of the moon

Way before I could hear the Rooster's long crow

You're on the bed lying to your good night's bit of shut-eye

Stars twinkle as the birds soar

High in the sky of night and day

Pondering the time that passes by

Nothing symmetrical between the two of us

Up to seek what the world might offer

Between two eager mortals

Who have the world in the cold palms

Of their cold hands.

Up to seek what the world might offer
Between two eager mortals
Who have the world in the cold palms
Of their cold hands.

You've created a wonderful sense of anticipation with this reader. Also I do like you sparse yet expressive style.

Oh god, Ms. Pryde Foltz. Thank you so much for reviewing my poem, such an honor!
