Cosmic Tale

The sun was just a young star

It's glow, not so visible from afar

Traveling along his trajectory's light

He came across a lovely satellite

Beautiful and round in all her glory

It was to the moon that he fell quarry

But she had no use for a faded spark

For her battle was against the scary dark

The sun saw this, and on, he went

On a path, an errand he wasn't sent

To be the brightest star in his galaxy

To light every land and every sea

Time went by, and his work was done

His blazing light shone on everyone

On he went to claim his prize

Before he wearies and his light dies

He didn't know his light came at a cost

All he touched was torched and lost

The blazing fiery furnace he was

Had shut all of camaraderie's doors

He approached the moon, haughty and vain

Pleased his garment of ego, bore no stain

Alas, she turned him down, on earth's advice

And to the burning sun, she was cold as ice

Though their existence would be parallel

The moon grew a love she couldn't tell

For her father, earth, was against their love

So, she would not speak of this love thereof

Now we all wait for earth's death

In hopes to see their love's rebirth

A tale of endurance… the saddest prose

How it will end, no one knows
