Poems of Moon

[DrakeDamage]

Tale of the sun and the moon

Wind blows across the mountains
bending the trees along its way
with the sun setting down
to rest after a long day

Her golden glow turns carmin shade
pulling the light out of the sky
yet still some must pervade
otherwise only darkness would remain

Little sparks of life yet unknown
in death of the night prevail
For the voyage of the moon they wait
till time beckons for them to set sail

Stream of silvery light lining the path
the moon follows to never stray
for it is afraid of the past
and past it shall forever stay

memory begs to be forgotten
but eyes of the beholder tell the tale
of the distance between the sun and the moon
of their radiant glow that turned pale

Every fire and flame will succumb
the gluttonous dark will consume all in its path
where life started there will be an end
The moon knew too late and gave into its wrath

And the moon turned, hid from the light
wanted to shine on its own but could not
She tried to take the shine as her own
but it was given to the sun and the sun alone

For her to share but keep safe as well
only she could hold the precious flame
but the moon blinded in fury and greed refused
the dark seeped into her soul and fused

No longer was the moon there only nightmare remained
fed with anger and pain and so much blame
Now only a shadow of the silvery dame
Thus the sun took a step that filled her with shame

She set the light free to burn away what shouldn't be
with tears she watched the ashen soul wither away
with cries that begged the life itself
The sun did not move for seven nights until the final day

Only then did she look up towards the sky
where like a shadow a mirrored moon was seen
and it stayed until the time of the star from the north
Who listened to her heart and ventured forth

The moon set course to her voyage and the tale came to an end
but night will come back as will the day
but when light is no more will the darkness leave as well
will the sun make the same mistake and turn fey
Only the moon knows and in faith she will wait
