Beautiful Country Poem by Ronald Chapman

Beautiful Country




Angels of heaven sing and
 dance in this place!

Here, beautiful and bright sister sun herself,
Seen between roses and cherry blossoms,
Has a brother moon.

Sister and brother shine day and night.

Rivers, streams, 
 Flow through hills and mountains,
What a calming place.

Blue eyed angels run through fields 
Of beautiful aster and daisies.
Green grass sweet apple trees.

Magpies fly so high in a bright blue sky, 
 Like guardian Angels.

Here is a dream, a fairy-tail, maybe a fantasy.
Can this be real?

I'm in a happy place.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I chose the Sun to be female and the moon to be male because of the Korean myth about how the Sun and Moon were created. At the end of the story. Sister moon was afraid of the dark. So the brave and kind brother Sun switched places with his sister.
