Sunrise

The moon acquainted the sun after every dusk The moon lived in the void of the sun’s slumber Only to die every morning and leave the sun forever shining without it The sun is lonely who howls to the moon The shadow of rain drops clouding it’s light as solitude devourers it Leaving it to freeze The hope for clear skies was all that ignited the fire blazing for love in a world where it thought it’d find none The sun loosens the lasso that cradled the moon letting it depart towards the horizon It never knew The sun met a mountain that sparked a song within her diamond chest That set fire to the phoenix whose wings vibrantly burst free in a vortex of fiery color The beat of a song that danced gracefully with every tune the wind sang that warmed the furnace of the empty heart that sheltered the sun The light gazes lazily through her window cascading over everything precious that the sun’s touch finds A comfort to her soul that only a mountain could adventure in search for He gently guided her down to the gorgeous earth to present to her a blossoming field of midnight flowers blooming into luminescent stars which helped guide her through the oceans of night The terrors subsided into the oblivion of light dissipating into the past of fallen summer leaves The sun sat atop the roof of her own sunrise whistling a joyous melody to the passing winds of a new dawn
