What is a sun without a planet to care for?

What is a moon without a sun's light?

​

The star sets out on a pilgrimage,

seeking a planet to call its own.

The moon stalks behind,

on the hunt for its light.

​

Eclipses come and go,

followed by loss and gain.

The shepherds to guard their charge,

defend against the grey beast.

​

Valor yields to long-honed skill.

Yet victory still slips by its claws.

Like gentle raindrops, the haloed eyes fall,

one to the breeze, one down the spring.

​

And life will begin anew...
