sun and moon - the story of love, despair, hope that lead to death

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
