This started off as one almost-drabble, but turned into two! Because they're connected, I'm posting them together.
Silver and Gold
The Golden Wood they call it, yet truly, it is not so. The trees themselves are silver - but it is the leaves that are gold and are their crowning glory.
Just like us.
I may do much of the work, overseeing the running of the realm and its defenses, which I know does not go unnoticed, but what you do is something else altogether.
You are the light by which we see, the golden crown that I would be nothing without. I am the moon to your sun; my own light comes from that which you give.
Only you can heal the wounded with but a thought, or calm the fearful with a simple smile. Only you could have charmed a people not your own and become accepted as their Lady.
I do not know what I did to deserve your love, but am eternally grateful for it. I hope you always know that you alone hold my heart and soul and that I love you with all that I am.
The End

The Sun and the Moon
I see you, the way you smile at me, the adoration and love that never
leaves your eyes. It never fails to warm my heart, but I wonder, do you know that your feelings are returned? I fear sometimes that I am too aloof and that you have cause to doubt my heart.
Never doubt it, my love. You are so humble, not seeing your own greatness, only mine. But I see, I know what lies behind your outward calm.
A brilliant mind; whose strategies have saved us time and again. A compassionate heart; always thinking of your people. A beautiful soul; that has a connection to the Earth I can only dream of.
If you are indeed the moon to my sun, then it is your light that shines brightly in the dark and leads us through the night.
You are my strength, my light and I love you.
The End
