As if I’m the moon
I shine when and only when
I reflect the twinned light of you

Beautiful piece. Amazing as always, Benjamin. 💕
Thanks, Grace! 🙂 I really appreciate all your kindness and support!
My pleasure.💕
Lovely. You really know how to pack a lot into 18 little words.
Thank you!!! Brevity and minimalism has power, I think.

Nice 🙂 I love love Shakespeare.
Clever, ODE TO THE SUN, Benjamin, as the light of the Moon comes from the reflecting the Sun.
Thank you.

I perceived in this perspective too…
Yes, the sun is majestic and all-important. If you find your sun in life you’ve won better than anyone else ever could. Thanks for your thoughts! Stay well!
Twinned light… Such a stunning phrase! The imagery is divine. Another beautiful piece to add to your fantastic collection 👏
Thank you. If you can find someone who makes you shine and vice versa there is probably not much else on Earth or in space that is better. Thanks again!!! 🙂
Omg! Three lines masterpiece. So beautiful ❤️
Thanks!!! That’s really wonderful to hear! ❤️ Hope you’re having a fantastic day!
Beautiful! Loved that last line, Ben! ❤❤
Thank you so much, Diana! ❤❤❤
Simple and lovely!
Thanks a ton, Chris!!! And no clue why sometimes these comments go to spam!
Odd. I don’t know either. You’ve reminded me to check my spam too!
Perfectly written.
❤
Thank you!!! 🍀
It’s amazing how we shine when we have that “someone”.
❤
Agreed. To find someone who converts worries to sunshine: what magical feeling, that is!
100%.
❤
🙂
Poetically, perhaps (effective image) but I’d say you shine always.
Well, thanks. That’s very sweet of you to say. I think, everyone has the potential to be a star in their own way. Theoretically it would be awesome if everyone could be their own light, but also like the Beatles said: “Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends.”
True, and so much of life is traversed alone, so we need both I guess.
It is. We have to live with ourselves the most. Then again … I think Camus said (paraphrasing) hell is/would be like having to be by yourself in a dark room with only your own thoughts. But that’s a whole different topic. Thanks again for your thoughts!
Lol.
Wow Ben, this is so beautiful. You captured so much emotion, depth and power in just a few words. And that last line is just divine ✨. Amazingly done, my friend 💚💙
