the birds outside are chirping
and the distinct smell of fresh coffee fills the air
the sun came up and peaked over the horizon
about an hour ago.
I got to watch the sun rise from my window
its not a sight I get to see often
but when I do I welcome it with open arms
its warmth and all the pretty colors It paints over the sky
I love the sun but I also love the moon
the patterns of constellations strewn far and wide
the way the moon casts a dim glow over everything
the quiet of the night.
and yet a couple times every year
they come together in an eclipse
like a soldier coming home
they see each other for a certain amount of time
and then separate once more
the sun and the moon
these two heavenly bodies,
have a special relationship
spend their time sharing the sky
gradually moving closer to each other
with each sunrise and sunset
they take turns peaking over the horizon.
waving a hello to each other
waiting for the day they can finally see each other
the relationship between the moon and sun is special
just like you
