Sun and Moon Wistfully Watch

Sun wistfully watched moon 
Envying his calm departure
As he oozed beyond the horizon without a glance
Waiting an extra second, Sun admired his backside,
Before she slid into place on the horizon
To begin her uphill rise to bring morning to the valley.

Moon had a touch of regret
Wondering if Sun suspected the love letters in his heart
Written by the stars for years, wondering if she suspected
That he carried a romantic torch for her
With mixed emotions he began his rise
In the east, bringing night to the other side of the earth.
