Letter of the Moon

I fell in love with the sun,
He lights up my world,
He warms my cold days,
He leaves me breathless

But I can't be with him,
I can't hold him,
Nor be close to him
He's the only star in my eyes, but I'm not the only moon

Jupiter has hundreds of them;
It's a miracle if he even sees me
On Earth, I'm only visible at night
Always chasing his light, yet never quite catching it

In this endless dance,
I'll adore him from afar,
A silent witness to his brilliance,
Hoping the wind carries my yearning to him

While I cast shadows and glow softly,
A pale echo of his fiery beauty,
I am the keeper of dreams,
He, the harbinger of dawn

Though we may never touch,
Or share the same sky in union,
I find solace in our shared existence,
writing the poetry of the universe

So I will continue my silent vigil,
Orbiting, watching, loving from afar,
A moon enamored with a sun,
Destined to be apart, yet forever intertwined
