A Celestial Proposal

Shining Sun, Rugged Moon, Gentle Earth.

An eternal dance

Of life and mirth.

On rare occasions, to show their affection

A band of starlight, jewel inlaid,

From celestial unity made,

Dazzling in our eyes' reflection.

Shining Sun with light to cleanse

Forged in atomic fire's burning

Tempered by countless miles' journey.

Pilgrimage to our waiting lens.

Rugged Moon with crag and spire.

Battle scars from long ago

Used to shape the light we know

Into a ring of Heaven's Fire.

Such a jewel in drape of night,

Darkness whole and edges bold.

Illuminated ten thousandfold

By the great contrast of light.

Moon and Sun who now align

To give the Earth a Diamond Ring

Befitting one such as a king,

But shall we see a ring this time?

For such a gift to be viewed

We must gather, friends, in August soon

To witness the Heavens' wondrous boon

And show the skies our gratitude.

Show Heart's love to all good things.

Be kind to others, earn our worth.

Honor the name of Gentle Earth

To look upon the Diamond Rings.
