eternal the two,
coexisting as opposites,
linked by duty, honour and grace
intertwined in the cosmic balance
permanent in prominence
stoic and stubborn
eternal the two, entwined are they

“Permanent in prominence” is a great line, as they’re constants for us down here:)
loved the poem and how the image matches up with the idea of friendship and purpose
Love all the human qualities brought to this interaction Sir - ‘opposites’ but they have each other’s backs! - I like that. ☺️👏
Permanent in prominence. I often imagine that people thousands of years ago looked at the same sky.
I don't know why but this felt like an Across about superheroes. Hehehehe. I loved it!
Omg Paul! Every line hit in this poem! I can't pick a favorite; they're are so powerful and inspiring, and I love how you bring it full circle in the end. Just- incredible <3. I'm going to be so sad once this prompt is over. It's been my favorite. There's so much good content and everyone has something different to say, even though we start our verses the same.
