I lay there in the cool green grass
My eyes drawn to the sky
This blue blanket that rolls on past
White clouds whispering by

Two deities it binds to Earth
To light our dreary way
Moon and Sun, whose very worth,
Breathes life into the day

The wandering two always apart
Were once free and in love
Until the Sky forced them to part
And shed light from above

Once in every thousand years
The Sky does show mercy
Moon and Sun can share some tears
Love eclipses over me

A moment's joy then Moon has passed
Alone just like before
Sun rejoins his weary path
To wait a thousand more

His broken heart has no more fight
To work once more he bends
And leaves a bouquet for the night
Shining at each days end

But Moon can't let the moment by
Her angers burning strong
Futile arrows pierce the sky
She glimpses light beyond

She makes patterns in these stars
It helps the time to fly
A love note written from afar
For when Sun passes by

As I lay beneath the Moon
I think, somewhat sadly
If I had only me to lose
I know I'd set them free

I'd pull apart the binding Sky
Regardless of the cost
I'd break their chains and watch them fly
To find the love they've lost

Moon's smiling face would shine so bright
As she drew near to Sun
Night and day would then unite
Broken hearts mend as one

But on the two must wander
They pay the price for life
And I can only wonder
Do we deserve this sacrifice?
