A Celestial Wish

            

This tale goes back to the night, 

the star decided to take flight, 

once which shone so bright, 

with the moon alongside.

A glittery streak across the sky,

that the star had left behind.

Although filled with immense pride,

something just didn't feel right.

The heart ached, as the star left,

that cold night, the moon wept. 

For it had known the star so well,

the separation felt unreal. 

Drowned with melancholy,

the moon had lost it's desired company.

Once it had known so deeply,

had set off for it's final journey.

The sky was painted with grieving darkness,

as the celestial beauty envisioned loneliness.

The end of an intimate connection,

had left the moon in sheer isolation.

Although it shared the sky,

with billions of the same kind,

none felt like the one,

that had drifted away, forever gone!

Till this very day, the moon waits,

to re-unite, it craves,

a longing so great,

to lay eyes on it's beloved mate.

Shines brightly every night,

reflecting hope to every selenophile.

A symbol of eternal love,

still yearns from up above.

Will the moon ever find,

the star it lost that dreadful night?

None other felt so right,

the moon whispers prayers on the quiet. 

This tale goes back in time,

the star decided to burn, out of sight!
