I Love to Write

I haven't wrote something like this is a long time but I enjoyed doing it. I was looking at the sunrise this morning and inspired me

My constant:

As I stare at the sun on the horizon,
I think about how it's like you,
Familiar and warm,
There to greet when I wake
Its balmy afterglow embracing and enveloping me goodnight
A cluster of stars come into sight, but they're just a faint a twinkle
A reminder of time
Old light
But then the sunrise
A promise of growth, joy, life

Sometimes I look at the moon,
And how it wears it's history
Deep impacts visible
Forever marked, forever scarred
I think about how It's unappreciated,
When its 95% illuminated it still shines as brightly as when it's full
An offer of light when the sun is not around
A permanent satellite
Locked in an orbit,
It tugs on our seas
Offering a distant support to life
Far, but forever interconnected to us
A constant

Last night when the sun went to sleep,
And the moon got lost in the clouds,
It rained, each drop making an impact on the earth,
Eroding the rock,
Feeding the life
A gift of water, a constant
There's something about the rain
The way it sounds, feels
How it calms
A cleansing,
A renewal
A washing away of the day and it's history
A much needed beauty of nature

The rain, the moon and the sun provide a love for life
A love that will always be there
Love: a constant in many forms;
A strangers smile,
The help to reach the top of shelf in the supermarket,
An ability for compassion, nuture and understanding.
A friendship that offers the warmth of the sun
A romance that gives the familiarity of a home
A passion for life, where your heart truly is,
It is an expansion of you,
To include something and someone as part of the self,
To look at someone's craters, like we look at the moon's.
And understand their strengths but also their wounds.
When i see you, I see not only your impacts but how you've made an impact
Like the moon impacts the earth, supporting it freely
You impact me.

Life is an evolution,
A continuation of change,
We are all struck by uncertainty
But there are constants
Including change itself, a petrifying promise that nothing ever lasts.
But there is a construction to life
that will lift us up,
That will support us, keep us afloat
A comfort we can depend on
I know life is about profound change;
Our moment in the sun is brief,
And even these constants can fade
But knowing I have you
The moon, the sun, the rain
For now
And that is enough to bring me joy in everyday
A tranquillity
In an unstable, changing world
And for that my gratitude is a constant
