Watching

Sun always watches from afar:

watches flowers burst into vibrant colors,

watches the slow, inevitable changing of seasons,

watches the heinous deeds of humanity

performed with false certainty of privacy.

Sun watches everything, knows everything,

except for the existence of Moon,

who watches Sun,

from the protective shadow

of her brother Earth.

Sun is too caught up in watching

to notice he is being watched.

Notes: So, the first prompt on The Journal is "Write an Anaphora poem. An Anaphora is 'the repetition of a word or expression several times within a clause or within a paragraph.' In poetry the repetition of the phrase can be just at the beginning of each line, setting the tone as a meditation or a mantra, or it can be utilized more subtlety within the poem. The poem can be free verse or prose style." I decided that I'm going to go in order so that I don't accidentally miss one. The word I chose to repeat was "watch."
