Always and forever Logs

The Sun and the Moon

Elijah looked up at the moon sitting on one of the benches in the French Quarter. Elena walked to him and sat down next to him now looking at the moon herself.

"They say it is a blue moon. It doesn't look very blue tonight."- Elena said.

"There is a hint of blue there"- Elijah pointed out to her- "on the left."

"Yeah... I can see it now."- she said.
He turned to face her -
"How is Caroline?"
"Shaken, but she will be fine."
"Good. Everyone gets lost from time to time."
"They do."-Elena said and sighed a little looking at the moon again.
The light of the moon played on her face accentuating her beauty. Elijah looked at her dreamily and then said-

"There is an old Eskimo legend. In the tale, the Sun is a woman, draped in golden light. She is optimistic and creative and warms the Earth with her powerful glow. She brings life to the Earth and is loved and revered by many stars and planets in the sky.

The Moon was a man, passionate, dark, and handsome. He hid in the shadows admiring the Sun from a distance. It was a time when the Moon had no light, but just watched and waited in dark shadows of the sky and worshipped the sun from afar.

Then one day as lady Sun was putting on a brilliant set of morning clothes, she felt she was being watched. She looked around and noticed the handsome moon starring at her from a deep corner of space.

"Why do you stare at me so, sombre Moon ?" asked the Sun.

"I'm overwhelmed by your beauty and you leave me speechless so I can only watch you from a distance because if I touched you I would surely die of ecstasy."

The Sun went closer to the moon and said, "You will not die if you touched me, come closer and kiss me."

The Moon went to her and kissed her fiery lips that morning and the fire was so strong it left him glowing all day and into the night. And every morning she would kiss him again and he would rise up glowing so brightly he lit up and the light-filled his whole being and the night sky was full of light.

Then one day the Sun came out and said he would not receive a kiss from her that morning because he was becoming too bright, and the people on earth would have two Suns instead of one and it would break the natural course of things. "But I will kiss you and love you as much as I can, just not every day."

The Moon was sad to miss the morning kiss and in his sadness, he began to grow cold and dark again. But he did not become black as the night as he once was. The hope and anticipation of being with the sun once more kept a few embers glowing leaving the moon to look as if he had put on a blue cloak.

And so is the legend of the Blue Moon.'

"Do you want to dance?"- Elijah then said.

Elena looked at him slightly taken aback by the suggestion. She still revelled in the story he had told her. He held out his hand to her, and she accepted it getting up. His right hand nestled on her lower back making her gasp a tiny little bit giving him a look that spoke more than words. He responded equally shining out that they should just forget about the world, and let go.

Need to find someone to show me how to play it slow
And just let it go

Your eyes get stung by the rays of the sinking sun
You follow the drum keeping time with everyone
Going beat beat beat, it's beating me down
Beat beat beat beat, it's beating me down
Day after day, it's turning around
'Til all my days are drowning out

Both of them swayed lightly to the beat of the music coming from the neighbouring club. 
Elena blurted out in a very low voice-

"I thought I had it all figured out, but..."

"So did I, but..."- he said. 

Their eyes smile at one another confirming all their feelings of the moment.

Elena now wrapped her arms around his neck.
It is everything, Elijah thought, her presence, her touch, her scent, her Heart that jumps when she is honest and dishonest with me when she doesn't know what it wants and yet hums a song that sings to him a love truth. She is everything. The Sun.

They swayed to the music not caring about the people around them passing by or just looking at them being in the world of their own. 

Elena moved a little to face him now. She smiled at him.

He didn't have to say anything. She knew. She knew it then. She knew it always. He loved her.

She put her head back on his shoulder and whispered faintly-

"Can you hear my heartbeat?!"

"Yes, Elena."- he said softly in the same whispering manner.
