lonely days

Once upon a lonely time

The moon fell in love with the sun

And so you see they were lovers

Once when they were young

But then they grew apart, you see

though their love burned brighter on

They saw each other each dawn and dusk

One moment but never enough

When the sun pulled her cloak away

And the moon cast her veil on the day

Did their eyes meet yet grimly so

Filled with tired, practiced smiles

And so they played this terrible game

Of chase, and tag

Of cat and mouse

And of whispered I love yous

Until one day they saw their chance

And met in the sky for a kiss

And the world–

It called it an eclipse
