the sun said goodbye to the sky
and he went to the angels
told them to take him away
and from his agony, release him
he said he'd lived enough pain
away from his most loved
away from his moon, and her beautiful darkness...
she whispered to the stars about him
and he sent her his rays
she kept him flaming and he kept her shining
stole a few moments to gaze
and when he missed her he pulled her close
and on the world she threw her darkness
he told her stories about our earth
and how his fire burns with sadness
the sun has loved for a thousand years
and the moon, a thousand more
he loved the dark because of her
and for him, she lit with shyness
who knew their love was the source of light, the source of dark, the source of pain
who knew the moon declared her death and the sun had lost his flame...
A poem about the eternal love story of the sun and the moon
