Hemispheres, in Love


When you scorched your kingdom,
I sowed my fields with snow.
And while you draped in the hues of fall,
The summer tempest was yet to beckon me.
When winter came, you were ahead
In the pride of spring.
I chased you in vain,
Through all seasons.
You always escaped,
As the light, while I lingered in the dark.
In the gloomy sunsets,
As you burst forth with hope of dawn.
You are timeless,
And I can go on for infinity.
But one day the sun shall not glow,
And the sea will swell,
The Equator will cease to exist.
Then we shall meet at the Poles.
Ours will be a frigid affair,
On the face of one Earth.
And we shall move mountains
And exude fire and create waves
And gush with the waterfalls
To shape the future lands.
As we move from one twinkling star to another
Together we shall bring life, again.
