A Love Tale: The Sun, The Earth, The Moon
Anika S, 24BBAB04, Member of Writers' Association
Our galaxy is home to planets and stars
Each seated ideally near and far
Dearest reader,
Come with me and take a trip around the way
And I shall tell you a tale of love
A story born between the three
The Earth, a devotee,
Circles the Sun, a burning ball of fire, the centre of attraction
In place, they remain
A love so great that if they move beyond
Or take a step in the tiniest way
The world would come to an end
So, our Earth admiring from a distance,
Waiting for the Sun's arrival each new day
Then comes the Moon, a lover
Circles the Earth, a planet so green and blue and alive
Always seeking Earth's approval
As it is merely just a thing that does not even have its light
Reflecting the Sun's light with such a glow
A peaceful beauty for all to know
The Moon with a hate so great,
For the Earth's admiration, it would turn the world dark grey
But then the realization,
Its light was nothing but a shade
A reflection of the Sun's true beauty
Hidden away in plain sight
The Earth and its people love the Moon's face and its every phase
Awaiting its presence every night
Stare at the Moon with the brightest eyes
And the Moon only saw nothing but the Sun's lonely face
Being just a surface, its beauty is seen because of the Sun's light
And the people who so genuinely love the Moon
Cannot even look at the Sun with their eyes
Hate burning into love,
The Moon mourns for the Sun
A beauty unseen in the dark of the night
Yet, the three dances among the stars,
The Sun, The Earth and The Moon
Indeed, had a story to be told
It is to you to decide the end,
Whether in their tale, when the three meet,
Would it be the end of this world?
Or
Would it be the start of a new one?
And will their story begin again?
For now, the trip has come to an end.
Goodbye, Dear reader
I shall come around the next time
Will you?
