How I love thee not the same…
People love, adore, write poems about you
They turn away from me, eyes filled with tears
Fickle you are, raising and lowering the tides
Constant am I, providing life and sustenance
You are parched, cold and…bluish dead
I am brilliant, hot with…throbbing life
Your beauty, drawn from me
Without me, you don’t exist
My beauty is from within
Without me, no one exists
Yet, they love you more, sister Moon
Why not me, your brother Sun
Beauty over substance?
***************
Lovely analogy, I’d never have thought of it. Sibling rivalry is as primal as reverence for the sun and moon. And as impossible to change!
Thank you Jane, for your visit and comment.
Yes, sibling rivalry is ever prevalent but in varying degrees – it gets destructive when taken to extremes.
Peace and blessings,
Eric
P/s I left a comment in your most recent post – I wonder whether it disappeared into your spam folder
Magnificent Poem! You are a very gifted writer. I have read several of your continuing sagas…but I would really like to start at the beginning and read them through to the last post. Where might I find the start of these sagas? They are so wonderful!

Dear Cindy,
If you are referring to Mechanic Leigh, it starts with Episode 1: My Name is Leigh > http://wp.me/p1YE83-3w

No worries about not notifying me about the award. As you know, I visited and posted on your blog yesterday. Thank you and glad that you welcome and like my comments. Thank you for your visits and comments too.
Luv and peace, Eric
Thank you! I will be back to read through much more of this story. Is the Kym and Sue saga a different one and part of the same?

Hello Cindy,
Kym and Sue are snippets of my corporate life…
