Sun and Moon

You were the sun,

I was the moon,

All around us was an eclipse,

We were just too caught up to see it.

Too immersed to realize that we were not

resting in our designated places in the universe.

The moon cannot be in the same place as the sun

and even when she is, is forever in the background,

An object in the blue sky that appears every once in a while,

An unordinary spectacle,

I heard that the moon is drawn to the sun, and that is why she longs to be near him,

and the sun though he longs for the moon cannot be in her presence for fear of taking away the little light she holds over the realm she is allowed to rule.

Perhaps that is why we could not be in the same place in time because we were both out of our worlds.

And now that there is no longer an eclipse and the world around has become brighter,

I can only hope that we are both happier with what the universe has allowed to take place.
