You are the wind and
the trees,
the honey and the bees.
You are the moon
and the stars.
You are the apple,
and the eye.
However, you are not angry,
the honey and the bees.
You are the moon
and the stars.
You are the apple,
and the eye.
However, you are not angry,
Sad,
or sorrowful
And you are certainly not vengeful.
There is just no way that you are vengeful.
It is possible that you are calm,
maybe even caring,
but you are not even close
to being ruthless.
And a quick look in the mirror will show
that you are neither careless
nor reckless.
It might interest you to know,
speaking of the plentiful imagery of the world,
that I am the light on the moon.
I also happen to be the glow in the night,
the sun rise shine
and the smile in your morning.
I am also the laughter in the day
or sorrowful
And you are certainly not vengeful.

and the comfort at night .
But don't worry, I'm not the moon and the stars.
You are still the moon and the stars.
You will always be the moon and the stars,
not to mention the honey and--somehow—the bees.

I'm enchanted by the idea that someone can be both the honey and the bees. There's so much a reader gleans from that. That said, I'd point out that the middle portion of your poem moves away from figurative language. You stop using comparisons (metaphor). Instead, you move into abstraction (calm, caring, ruthless). The result is, believe it or not, is confusion and mystery. A comparison is a powerful thing--more so than a word like "caring." :)
