Once upon a time
the sun and moon were born
each not knowing they are their better halves
each set to look for the other with the vast variety of natures gifts
they both longed for the feeling of fulfillment and although they shun their light on all they touched
their was still a desperate ache looking for more
searching for something they knew was apart of them
years passed and the tradition of the sun coming up in the morning and passing down mid evening never changed
as the moon shined its light from evening to dawn
but not once did there paths truly cross
not once did they consider one another to be their better halves.
but one still evening as the sun was drowning
his light dimmed
he caught a glimpse of the moon rising and he had never seen a beauty so overpowering
the sun had heard of the moons complete abundance over the sky
but he had never paid much attention to whispers and cries
and in that moment he knew he had to be closer to his moon
the parallel of nature was being defied
the sun would hesitate a little while
just to catch a glimpse of his moon every night
she filled him in ways he could not describe.
The Gods were angered by the suns ways
they called upon thunderstorms and hail
but still the sun did not come apart
you see his light was set on his moon
he had fallen in love
forgetting natures balance the sun picked up the courage
he dimmed his true nature and set a sail to stand beside his darling
and that is when the moon noticed the sun
she was breath taken by his aura
she was smitten by his courage
and she knew at once what he felt too
that she was made to run side by side with the sun,
being the sun and the moon.
together they could take over what ever may come
his light would guide them
her bright gloom would comfort the dark strangers in the day and night
and thus began the love affair
between
the sun and the moon.
every night the declaration of love was seen by the world
they saw a constant eclipse when they looked up above
but only the Gods knew what was truly happening below
the sun and the moon had sworn to never leave each others light
for once the Gods felt powerless
Their anger was haunting it was slowly increasing
but the lovers of the sky did not care a cent
they swayed within the sky flaunting their love and how itll never end.
In a flight of anger the Gods sent down the stars
to taunt and manipulate this love carnival
but the sun and moon were so over powered with each other
the stars made no impact they had lost their essence.
the Gods become furious they came up with a plan
THEY BUILT THE WORLD AND NATURES EVERY STRAND
we will wash it away its as simple as that
weve been kind to these lovers
but this alas
this will stop TONIGHT.
The Gods called up on the sun and the moon
and they asked them a question
if we put you away will your love survive
the test of separation
NOTHING CAN TEAR US APART
the sun rose his light as he spoke
weve found our better halves oh please be kind to us, said the moon to her Gods
THEn this is how it will be the Gods commanded
each of you will return to how nature has made you
and when the test is over and we feel your love is pure
we promise you
we will never set you apart
a test so easy the sun spoke again
i will wait for ever for my moon to come back to me again
shine what you must on me THY GODS
i will not look away my moon is my life
together we will shine through night and day.
the sun and moon kissed their goodbyes
with the hope of one day shining again side by side.
the sun was to not catch a glimpse of his moon
nor were they to share a word as they crossed each other
and months and years passed and the sun did as he was told
the moons light changed for she had been separated from the one she loved so dear
and within this test something seemed changed
the sun had found new comfort in the rainbow after rains
the Gods called the moon in to show the play of the sun
he had been dancing and laughing with the rainbows colours and charm
BUT THIS CANT BE TRUE
the moon shouted loud
HE LOVES ME JUST SEND HIM BACK TO ME AND YOULL SEE ALL THIS IS UNTRUE
the Gods reminded the moon of the test that had been made
the sun had broken his word he had fallen out of love with his mistress
DONT SAY THAT PLEASE WERE MEANT TO BE the moon cried
IT HAS BEEN DECIDED, the Gods shouted out
YOU AND HIM WILL NEVER SEE EYE TO EYE
PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS MY LORDS , the moon begged
GIVE ME ONE CHANCE TO PROVE THAT THE SUN HAS BEEN FAITHFUL
the Gods decided a final test shall be made
that the moon can come out when the sun lights the day
but the moon will dim her light so its not obvious to the sun
that the sun and moon are sharing the same sky
and so the sun would come up in the day
he would shine his light all over
and blind himself with his bright ray for he was so taken by the colours of the rainbow
that he did not seem to ever notice the moon and her dim glow
the moon darkened each year that passed
from the bright white beauty she had black scars
scars that reminded her of the suns deceit
scars that still show if you look at the moon closely.
but the sun still remains as bright as before
his light shine upon us brighter than before.
the Gods punished the moon for the suns doings
and now the moon is out in the day and the night
but her light is dimmed when the sun is out
the sun never noticed her not till today
and maybe one day the sun will notice that dark light
and hell realize its the moon he had promised to love all his life
but till that does happen the moon is losing her light
she is tattered and torn and filled with blackened scars
only we can see in the night
