Poem(s?)

Hey there, it's me, Tyler. I decided to post a poem (2?) that I wrote a few weeks ago. I play with words a bit in it (them?) to make the poem(s?) mean two different things. Well, here we are.

Oh Shining Sun
by A Mortal Philosopher

Oh shining sun, how marvelous are you
Your glory shown through your rich rays
But sooner than yours, my death is due

Take care not to burn yourself out in case,
That my grandchildren shiver cold,
With your warmth and love, them shall you grace

When you are down, you so masquerade
As a moon, still bright but not warm
You need the skies, to fight your shade

Each time you beat gloom, you rise above all
'Tis because you are my shining sun,
In looks the norm, but in warmth so tall

So when you're older, and the clock strikes noon
And I am, in death, gone from this world
Know that in life, you were my bless't boon

Oh shining sun, how marvelous are you
Your glory shown through your rich rays
But sooner than yours, my death is due


Oh Shining Son
by A Loving Father

Oh shining son, how marvelous are you
Your glory shown through your rich raise
But sooner than yours, my death is due

Take care not to burn yourself out in case,
That my grandchildren shiver cold,
With your warmth and love, them shall you grace

When you are down, you so masquerade
As a man, still bright but not warm
You need this guise, to fight your shade

Each time you beat gloom, you rise above all
'Tis because you are my shining sun,
In looks the norm, but in warmth so tall

So when you're older, and the clock strikes noon
And I am, in death, gone from this world
Know that in life, you were my bless't boon

Oh shining son, how marvelous are you
Your glory shown through your rich raise
But sooner than yours, my death is due

Wow, Tyler. I am going to take a bit to digest your poems. But until then. Very impressive. Like the 'mirror image' aspect, with the twist on the mirror. :-)
