Moonlit Sky

A dark sky fills the night as the Sun leaves its throne in the heavens. What fills his seat is the Moon herself. Reigning over the heavens with her court of stars. And if one may chance upon a night of nights where the sky is absent of clouds, one may fully gaze on Queen Moon's vibrant aura, courtesy of the Sun himself. And in this night of night's, by fate, a couple was passing by. But tonight they were not a couple. Au contraire, they were seperated by the thickets and trees that fill the woods.

"My love, were forth might thy be?" echoed the man's voice across the forest.

"Dearst lover, where forth art thou o sweet?"cried the woman's voice.

Seeing that their efforts were futile, they decided to catch their breaths. Looking towards the heavens, they see the Moon in her full glory. And t'was decided that she be their guide to each other.

So at once the man and woman set forth, with each, only their last ounce of strength. They followed Queen Moon until they stumbled upon the shores of a beatiful lake.

In the lake's waters was the Moon's reflection herself. Such radiance illuminated the dark lake, giving it an eerie yet welcoming glow. At the far ends of the lake, the two lovers stood motionless. Captivated by the reflection, they slowly looked up. But as they looked up, the man and woman saw each other. Gazing at each other, the lovers both ran by the lakeshore and into each others arms.

In passionate embrace, the man cried forth,"See my love, such a great lake could not keep us apart! Behold the true power of our love!"

"But what of our families? Is it not they who have tried to keep us apart? What of them, my love, what of them?"

"Hush my sweet, tonight we think not of such petty worries. We will enjoy our freedom even if it is just for a night"

Sparks flew that night, I tell you so. Queen Moon, watching in her heavenly abode, saw the seed of love grow in the hearts of two lover. T'was their destiny to be intertwined in a union of love and compassion. Indeed, the sight was to behold. It was just one of those nights that gave Queen Moon such a delight in doing her eternal duty. With her court of countless stars, she blessed the couple. Stars fell down to bestow upon the couple many a blessing and gift.

The couple was indeed truly happy in each others arms. Surely not a woe or a worry crossed their minds. The future was not their, nor was the past. What was present is now. And to them it was all that mattered. Time passed and the couple lived a beautiful life, if not absent of problems, and lived and left together. Til this day as we speak, they still meet at the shores of the lake and wander the woods.

And in any given night, if one may stumble upon the full radiance of the moonlit sky, one may remember this tale. But in order to truly comprehend such a tale of love, remember that it takes two halves to make a whole. So in the even that you may stumble upon the naked glory of the Moon, remeber that these wandering spirits will unite you with your true significant other.
