He became part of the Sun
mountaintop and dawn light
streaming across skies and valleys
painting the underside of clouds to fire
while blue grey sky became a rising curtain
and day carried him across the arc of blue
She became part of the sun
on the sandy pebbled shore
where the mountain faces keep the glow
her silhouette became a dream of evening
danced upon shimmering gold
where he watched ...'til waters soaked it in,
and she was gone to night,
to climb the silver skies
and touch the quiet waves ever soft
that say...hush

perfect, Pkid.

Wow. Your imagery was jaw-dropping - nothing more to say there.
I also loved your poetic tone - it came across in a serene, but powerful way - and it just crept into the core of the reader, stirred the emotions, I would say.
I just can't think of anything else to say or suggest... brilliant

Beautiful parallelism. The emotive effect and gentle fluidity of this one is so strong, one cannot help but be pulled into the experience. I love poems with such beautiful exchange and the images here are second to none. His strength and fire, her silhouette and glow...perfectly captivating. Adored the soft conclusion... and couldnt help thinking that it would all start all over again.

Most excellent cadence here, deftly and ably done it flows like a rapid river... just a really fine poem all around...

You've incorporated my favorite Forces of Nature,
yin and yang, and all things in between.
Excellent.
