A double drabble (200 words)/prose poem

I worship the sun, bask in the life giving rays
the light brings growth, and also casts welcome shade
Reborn at the winter solstice, bringing new hope
Peaking at the summer solstice in full glory
The seasons turn, spring to summer, autumn to winter
Endless and enduring
The sun is fire and solar winds, creative and inspired
The nineteenth tarot card, sign of good fortune
Ruler of the day, rising in the east and setting the west
Helios, Apollo, Lugh, Amaterasu

I worship the moon, bathe in the life affirming rays
there is beauty in darkness, and light in the dark
Reborn at the dark moon each month, unseen but present
Peaking at the full moon, in all her glory
The month turns, waxing to full, waning to dark moon
Endless and enduring
The moon is of earth and brings the tides, reflective and empathic
The eighteenth tarot card, illusion and hidden truths
Ruler of the night, rising in the east and setting in the west
Artemis, Cerridwen, Hecate, Thoth

I acknowledge the turning of the day, the month, the year
There is a time for action and for rest
A place for opposites and the middle ground between them

The Witch and the Moon

An exact drabble. For the 100-tales prompt "moon". As always, thanks for reading; comments, concrit, likes/shares are all welcome.

"A witch is always accompanied by the moon," she said.

He gazed up thoughtfully at the stars twinkling in the midnight blue canopy. "But what about when the moon is new?"

"The moon is always there, even if we cannot see Her. Day or night, full or new. To stand outside beneath a full moon is powerful, spiritual, yes. But we are never far from Her," she said. "Besides the new moon has its own magic of fresh starts."

"I see." He looked at her now, secure and confident in a way he'd never seen her before. It suited her.

"I'm thinking of calling it the 'Steak and Slayer'," JJ said, staring up at the currently empty frame atop the signpost. The previous sign was already long gone and the metal post had been given a fresh coat of paint. "With a picture of a stake and the font from 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer', and hope Joss Whedon doesn't find out."

"I like the pun for a pub serving steaks. But I think you should call it the Moon," Alex mused.

"Why?"

"So I can say 'Oh, I was just drinking in the moon' which sounds romantic, even spiritual."

"It will be true. Just not those sort of spirits."

Alex laughed. "And people can say 'I'm going to the Moon tonight.' It's fun."

"Short-lived romances can be summed up by the walk to and from the village as 'I loved you to the Moon and back'," JJ suggested.

"We need a toy bovine to throw," Alex said suddenly and they said in unison, "because the cow jumped over the Moon!"
