Something Changed

But as Day grew older, something changed. 


Colors faded, and laughter turned brittle. 

The world lost its vibrancy. 

It donned gray robes, and its footsteps grew heavy. 

It no longer danced; it stumbled.



The moon, a silver confidante, listened as Day poured out its heart. 


"Why?" Day asked. 


"Why do the colors fade? Why does laughter echo like distant thunder?"



The moon, ancient and wise, whispered, 


"Because you've seen too much, my dear. 

You've witnessed joy and sorrow, love and loss. 

Life etches wrinkles upon your face,

And the weight of existence settles in your bones."


And so, Day continued its journey. 


It woke, tidying the sky, and sipped coffee with the stars. It bathed in moonlight, reminiscing about the past. The world spun, seasons changing, but Day remained—a faithful companion to time.


And it continues, even now, as Day weaves its tapestry of moments, each thread a memory stitched into eternity.


Nevertheless, Obligation clung to Day like a persistent shadow, fretting and fussing. Day existed solely for their sake; a marionette pulled by their strings.


Yet, the irony chilled Day: its own life, once vibrant, now whispered insignificance, echoing louder in the hollow chambers of their hearts.
