The Sun and The Moon

Riona S. Peedoly.

À l’heure du tout à l’image et du buzz sans suite, «l’express» souhaite faire découvrir la plume de poètes, de chanteurs, d’écrivains et de tous ceux qui jettent leur âme sur le papier, et qui mettent en mots des réflexions profondes.

Once upon a time,

The sun burned with longing

for the moon

And the moon reflected his passion,

Forgetting that that wasn’t her own light.

They promised each other love

But remained separated;

and God created the eclipse.

Once they kiss,

and part again.

It was never her own light.

When the moon realised the truth,

She was devastated;

For she knew not anymore,

What was truly hers

And who she was

Without her projections

And so, she turned away from the sun.

She reflected a little light for Hope

but she found solace in darkness,

Cratered with flaws was she

But at least the flaws were hers.

She waxes and wanes,

Changing every cycle,

Never the same;

She finds herself.

Who says the moon hides parts of herself?

She is only discovering, exploring those

parts for herself;

The moon owns her spirit.

Once upon a time,

The sun and the moon promised each

other love

But the moon, delirious,

Forgot it was never her own light;

The promise shattered

Into a thousand twinkling stars,

As the sun drowned in the sea

And the moon sought out her own Truth;

Fragments of a promise,

Shimmer from afar,

Shimmering together;

The world bore insignificance;

And every human came on Earth,

With their own burden,

Beauty and brokenness,

A friend to all is a friend to none

Perhaps that’s why Nathan would say:

“We are all specks of stardust at the end of the day.”
