The sun began to rise at the pale wink of dawn just as the moon wearied and started to fade. There were dappled rays spread across my lawn then disappeared behind a maple forest glade. Refulgent light hovered above earth at midday while the moon rested before her nightly reign. As people basked and romped all day in play, celestial bodies pretend that it's sleep they feign. The sun bowed and dimmed on the cusp of twilight Awakening, were the cratered eyes of the moon. A golden glow of sunset was ebbing before my sight and Luna was rising with the trilling song of a loon. Ra slipped into the sea as the horizon darkened. Moonlight nodded to stars in a sky of midnight blue. A deep sigh was heard; to the moon the sun harkened. He whispered to her in their passing, "I bid you adieu."
