solace and sorrow
i.
From the east, I rose towards the sky
What time is it? It's nightwatch time!
From behind the clouds is where I lie
I gazed down on the mortals
As they sleep soundly and feel comfy.

But...

Amidst the deafening silence of the night,
I heard uncontrollable sobs yet no one's on sight.
Someone's cowering in the corner of a room!
I took a peek and then,
I saw you, covered in gloom.

Can't sleep again, little one?
Don't be afraid! The monsters are gone.
Now, turn the lights off and go to bed,
There's no more to the nightmares you had.
For when the darkness finally engulfs you
I am always here to wash away your blues
Watching from behind the clouds,
I shall give you this little radiance of light
So you may find solace in this lonely night.
I am Luna, the goddess of the moon
Your only friend from dusk until dawn
Floating above, almost kissing the serene ocean
I'll be your company 'til the Sun rises once again.

You see me in the company of billions of stars
The truth is I am alone for they are so far
Yes, I'm alone but did you hear me cry?
So hush now, sweetie and close your eyes
I couldn't comfort you with a warm embrace
But I'll command the wind to tenderly caress your face.

Soon, the sun will be out swelling with brightness
And you'll need energy to face another day
So let yourself drift into the familiar darkness
'Til you feel it hit your face, the morning rays.

My light will never be as bright
Like the Sun that blinds the sight
And that's the only thing I could offer
So you won't feel alone & forlornly suffer.

For I am only the Moon
That gives off gentle light,
Hoping it would warm your lonely heart.

I am the Moon
And I will never be like the Sun
I cannot give the things that he can.

Fare thee well, little one!
My reign has ended; and his had began.
I will now fade away and concede
For now, I am going to sleep
Coz it's time for the Sun to regain his throne
And another day for me to be alone.

To the west, I slowly vanished from the sky
What time is it? It's time to say goodbye.
