My Mother is Sun. My Father is Moon - by Fabu

My mother is sun
yellow heated passion
'ssippi hot
burning illumination.

My father is moon
bright in still darkness
glimmering cool
contrary by day or moonless night.

And I am restless water
reflecting sun and moon
points of light
while my parents rest before rising.

The poem is in honor of my beloved parents, Bernice and Herman Carter, both deceased in 2004.
