You and I

You are part of the sky

I am of the earth

You sail the heavens

I coast the waters

You belong to the night

I am a being of the day

You light up the dark

I bask in your glow

You move with a purpose

I drift with the current

You go about on your own

I need to have direction

You are surrounded by stars

I am grounded by reeds

You are not afraid of clouds

I am at the mercy of waves

You control the tides

I am dependent on them

You make your presence felt

I am not noticeable

You are universally needed

I am dispensable

You are beyond reach

I have to be available

You are the object of dreams

I am part of the scenery

You seem  unreal, a fantasy

I belong to reality

You can change moods

I am not allowed to

You wax and wane

I cannot afford to

You are one of a kind

I am ordinarily common

You are admired, adored

I am taken for granted

You look down and see the world

I look up and see only you

You are the gorgeous moon

I am just a dilapidated boat…..
