This rather clunky comic art (not my finest artistic hour) was really trying to get the young muslims to broaden their horizons with regard to what they were capable of, so you needn't be too disappointed that my scanner couldn't really cope with the artwork, and I've just appended some small images below the text. Like "The Winds", this was actually a rework of something written some time before. Actually, it was a rework of a former rework that is on the site under the title 'Signrhymes'. As with "The Winds", the lines of the verse are all based on ayats in the Qur'an, but I don't have a ready list of references for this so you'll have to work them out for yourself.
SUN & MOON
Splitting the horizon
rising up out of the night,
Into the brightness of the morning
radiating heat and light,
It guides the stretching sundial shadow
through the seasons of its way,
The sun is for a reckoning
until we meet our final day.
Displayed by day a blazing lamp
crossing the heavens on charted arc,
It falls enshrouded by the night
to leave us resting in the dark.
Yet when the shadows gather
and the daylight's course has run,
We see the moon swim through the sky
reflecting on the trail of the sun.
But as days turn to weeks
the full moon turns thin,
Then leaves only starlight
in the heavens again,
Until bent like a palm bough
the moon reappears,
Letting us count the months
that divide up the years.
