"That they share a bed is no surprise as / All of their doings are done in the round"

Sheltering Shadows

Within sheltering shadows waits the light
Until the time comes to dawn the new day
It nestles there in the heart of the night
Until the time comes to come out and play

Then the sun and the moon change their places
One looking forward the other behind
Yin yang opposite-attracted faces
Without which the sky would be cold and blind

When the sun goes to bed the moon rises
Or so it would seem from here on the ground
That they share a bed is no surprise as
All of their doings are done in the round

Until the time comes to come out and play
It nestles there in the heart of the night
Until the time comes to dawn the new day
Within sheltering shadows waits the light

Wonderful write Steve and brings to mind a saying used in the submarines know as hot-bunking, which simply means that one bed was shared by two people on shifts, as one got out of bed to go to work the other crawled in to get his sleep. When I read this poem it made me realize how closely related all things in this world are. Well done.
