world

In the long cold darkness of nothing
Mother Nature approaches lonely me
With the proposal of her two sons, the sun and the moon
She asks which I will wed, and my answer confounds her
I explain that I cannot marry one alone
For one cannot have a full life without both in a day
One cannot have life without the sun to shed light and warmth
One cannot find safety without darkness in which to hide and find silence
So I tell Mother Earth forever bind my feet upon her fertile ground
Keeping my heart tethered to the hearts of her sons,
And in turn I am keeping them tethered to her
Only by her agreeing to let them be forever bound to me
