Respect is Given, Trust is Earned


I love the sun.

I love the warmth that covers me like a blanket on a cold winter night

I love the rays that shine through the colorful windows and onto the floor like a lantern or a flashlight

I love the way it brings life to plants and makes their colors stay

But ignoring the damage it does to us daily doesn't mean it'll go away

The UV lights so damaging will make us cry in pain

A staring at it strains our eyes like we're pulling on a chain

The agony will tear away your trust of ever looking up at the sky

But forgetting why I even loved the sun I'll look up and 

Oh my

I love the moon even more

The twinkling stars compliment the craters that protected Earth

And the comforting grey of the surface reminds me of the ashes of a hearth

I watch the moon and I feel myself sinking into a safe place

And I remind myself why I loved the colors of space

It never hurts you the way the sun did

And now I praise the light that the moon emits.
