Terra and Luna

Locked in their endless dance

Luna, shy, only sheds her dark cloak every once in a while,

Peeking around her obscure stellar hood to show only part of her face,

And then turning back to enjoy the loneliness of the inside of her sequined coat.

Sometimes, summing up all of her courage, she steps into the daylight,

stepping out in front of Sol.

But when they come together, and Terra shares her dance partner,

it does not result in darkness

but gives Terra a beautiful light show projected by Sol's fiery crown.

Terra, on the other hand, leads the dance.

Circling Sol as the center of the ballroom floor.

Terra, our mother, caring for us as children.

We eat, breathe, and live with Terra.

Every once in a while, we gain the courage to leave our mother and travel

Into the great unknown expanse between the stars.

But never too far from home.

Sometimes we visit shy Luna, however we always return to our mother, Terra.

Someday Terra's children will have compassion on Luna, that shy little angel

of the night.

And we will give her children.

Thus turning the slow, sad ballet into a joyous dance through the stars.
