To my sun and star, with love: (first draft)

[cdparker]

Is it possible?
To balance
Love of the sun
And a shooting star?

The sun:
Everlasting
Unchanging
Steadfast

The star:
Fleeting
Momentary
Exciting

The sun:
A Loyal
Constant
Companion

The star:
A Quick
Engaging
Impulse

Both:
Warm
Loving
True

The sun
In the dark.
The star
In the secrets.

When both
Sun and star
Come into
My sudden view:

Do I waver?
Do I falter?
Do I glance
Right or left?

I choose
To stand
In the dark
With my secret,

And allow the star
To pass as I hide
My fleeting,
Momentary excitement.

I quietly grin,
As I entertain
A shooting glance
To my left.

Then I stand with eyes to the right:
Everlasting
Unchanging
And steadfast.
