POEM XVI - WHEN THE SUN LEFT THE MOON BEHIND

In a world where sun and moon reside,
Two friendships bloomed, side by side.
Their souls intertwined, a radiant bond,
Basking in light, their connection fond.

Like the sun, one friend shine so bright,
With laughter and warmth, a guiding light.
Their days were filled with joy and cheer,
With every moment, their love grew near.

While the moon, calm and serene,
Illuminated nights with a gentle gleam.
Their words like stardust, soft and clear,
A friendship cherished, oh so dear.

Together they danced, day and night,
Blending their shades, dark and light.
Complementing hues, a perfect blend,
As kindred spirits, their hearts would mend.

But fate took a turn, unseen and cunning,
As shadows crept in beneath the sky, cunning.
A rift appeared, cracks in their core,
Tears in the fabric they once wore.

The sun, bewildered, questioned why,
Their friendship faded, began to die.
The moon, too, puzzled by the change,
Seeking answers, both hearts estranged.

The days grew dim, the nights grew cold,
As secrets unfold, their story untold.
Silence enveloped their once vibrant world,
The bond they shared, in shadows swirled.

Neither knew the cause, nor could they see,
The forces that stole their harmony.
Lost in the depths of a fading light,
They yearned to rekindle what once burned bright.

Oh, sun and moon, embrace the night,
For in the darkness, stars ignite.
With patience and grace, let time reveal,
The truths obscured, wounds to heal.

Though worlds apart, their hearts still beat,
In distant echoes, a friendship's retreat.
May their paths converge, like dawn's first ray,
Resurrecting love, on a brand-new day.

For friendships, like sun and moon, may wane,
But deep within, their memories remain.
And should they cross paths, in future's swoon,
They'll reclaim the light, lost in a vanished tune.
