I am the first you see
born from beams
a mother sent
to guide you through
both joys and chores
and though I am the last
to fade, to leave;
my sister raise to mirror me
and lead you back again
home to dreams of me.
Sometimes veiled
I still will feed you
well with warmth
and even in my absence
you can feel my fire
flaming in your face
I follow you to sea
I tend the grass,
the trees, the streams
I let you live
and on my day you rest
but can you name me
and can you tell
my sister’s name?

Today we are writing poetic riddles at dVerse. I will be hosting and I leave it up to you to guess what this fairly easy riddle might be. If I were a sphinx you would stand a chance of not being devoured.

mother sun and sister moon
🙂 it was easy
🙂 I’m not sure my mind can go to fashioning riddles today. Maybe a little later, when the day calms down.
Ha… it’s not that hard to write actually…
What Lisa said! This is fun…
Yes, I also guess sun and moon. I love how you presented this, like mother nature.
thanks for the challenge Bjorn you have talked me into having a go. i enjoyed yours.
Sol and Luna! Fun riddle… 🙂👍🏼
Sister……hmm….that was difficult at first! V nicely done!
That is why I added the song in the end.
I would have guessed something quite different. I am hopeless, your poem lovely.
Great fun!
and on my day you rest = SUN
so sister has to be =MOON
MUCH💛LOVE
I think you are the sun and she is the moon ☺️
This is beautiful. I’m so glad you wrote such an uplifting poem about what we can count on, always, no matter what else goes wrong in the world.
Sun and moon?
Yes very much so
Beautifully expressed. I enjoyed it very much.
These are beautiful – I don’t think I had appreciated how beautiful riddles could be until I read some of the responses to your challenge.
a beautiful way to describe the sun and the moon, Bjorn, and thanks for the riddle prompt.. it was wonderful joining the dverse community after a long time..
