SISTER STARS

She has a bulb of many watts –
Omega-byte hard drive –
What if hope drove her – not shadow?
What poems would then arrive?

She has a comprehensive eye –
A quintessential ear –
What if noon moved her – not midnight?
What power would appear!

BROTHER MARS (To J.K.H.)

He has a forty-carat brain –
A million dollar mind –
What if light passed through – not darkness?
What wonders would he find?

He has a universal heart –
A conscientious core –
What if love passed through – not distance?
What beauty to explore!
