My Light in the Night

I am Sol or your giant yellow star in the sky “The Sun.” I was born a long time ago and back then I had few friends. Many of them just liked to tease me and run all around me, or they would die out. Though one day I met my greatest friend that danced with the planet we both shared. I hated these Waxing and Waning Gibbous and the Full Moon phases that Luna went through because she always was distorted from my view. Every time she was full I felt she was laughing behind the earth or singing with the stars. What I heard from Phobos and Deimos, the brothers that encompassed Mars, is they see Luna weeping and the stars all around give her room because they do not know how to consul her. I find this ridiculous because I just know she is enjoying her time without me and playing games with my heart. I decided next time Luna is New I would talk to her about what really happens when she is hiding behind the earth’s slight protection.

I started to think about the conversation when I saw her as a Waning Crescent. I had to make sure I said what I wanted to hear answered. After a long wait Luna became New, and by Juno, she was so beautiful bathing in my radiance. Her curves we all shining and her paleness shone so brightly the rays touched the depths of my heart. Her beauty had brought the thought of how could I be so mad at her; she is innocence. I heard her voice echo within my flames. She was unhappy. “Darling,” I said, and I saw her shiver at my corona that I gave off from a strong impulse inside me. (I think it’s another form of my excitement.)Then I noticed her craters were unusally darker. (Some part of her that I overlook, but I think it adds to her so much.) “Hunny.” she sniffed. She looked at me, and I saw pain. “I was talking to Earth and he heard that you think I have some kind of perverse relation with my friends.,” I swore I heard her crust creak from holding back on me. I knew she wanted to scream at me, but she was too good for that. She was as sweet as her rival venus’s rains. I released some more pressure from my gut then spoke. ” I should be careful when I talk out loud to myself. I have to remember I am not the only one who can hear myself.” I chuckled which caused a series of flares to go off all across me. ” I know it sounds bad, but I had my reasons to believe you have been doing things when I can’t always see you. ” I smiled, and Luna kept silent waiting for more. ” I believe others would not want to miss out on approaching a gorgeous creation like you.” Luna quaked. Her brightness dulled or was that just me? Finally, she spoke. ” I don’t know what nasty things you think I’m made of but I’m not all Sulfur. I have good qualities, Sol. I.” She stopped. Then all her crates began to leak. ” You know Sol. It is impressive to make me cry oceans when It’s highly impossible to support any kind of water on me. It tells you much.” I stared and watched her melt out streams. I was fixated since the only running water was on earth itself. I smiled. I’m an idiot. ” You love me, don’t you? Luna. You think were are worth more than friends?” She gasped, and it felt like she lost her sense of emotions. Then they all came rushing back. ” Of course I love you! Sol, I have cried every time I’m Full because I can’t see you. I just reflect your light which makes me slightly happy because it reminds me of you. Though I don’t dance like I usually do when I am with you, and all the stars around me are dormant and don’t do anything for me. They don’t even talk. I’m sick of being stuck into a cycle where I always know I’ll be miserable when that time comes. I don’t have anything invested in my endless circle of life except you Sol. You are my internal. That keeps me running in tune till you become out of step and we both dance of final dance.” I felt particles around me spinning if she had said any more I would have blown her away from the intensity of my supercharged corona. I longed to grasp my Luna but all had were speechlessness and indescribable feelings in me wanting to be expressed. I felt them multiply on top of me. The Sunspots, the ugly things that produce when I am sad. “Luna. Forgive Me. I have no way to offer you, my Love, when your Full but I can give it every time you are New. Every time you come, we will renew our proclamation of love till the vastness of the universe hears about it. Even if it takes the farthest planets in other galaxies to hear about it by the time we both have died out will still be the strongest lovers of our time. I Luna will always love you more than I can really know and I hope you will do the same for me .” La Luna gushed waterfalls and shied away into her emotions. She stayed like that till Sol asked her again about the stars again. ” So you really never betrayed me for the stars, did you? I’m glad.” Luna whimpered, but she managed to sputter out her answer finalizing the last of this discussion. ” No, I did. I betrayed you with the stars because you are not my friend of mine, Sol, they are. The stars are my tiny dancers. You cost more than a simple friendship. You are Sol, Mi Amor, my bright light in the night sky.”
