A spherical furnace lights the world
His great love mimics his efforts at night
Orbs daytime warmth doth flowers unfurl
Her pale lunar grace cradles lovers in flight
An embrace that is mythed in the ages of men
Portents of great things from dessert to fen
Their coupling is spied with shielded eye
Until she leaves his bright daytime sky

A spherical furnace lights the world
His great love mimics his efforts at night
Orbs daytime warmth doth flowers unfurl
Her pale lunar grace cradles lovers in flight
An embrace that is mythed in the ages of men
Portents of great things from dessert to fen
Their coupling is spied with shielded eye
Until she leaves his bright daytime sky
Its like trying to describe the love affair between the sun and the moon.
Two celestials destined to be forever apart.
One who has naught but consistency and a passion that extinguishes even sight.
The other has a sky full of diamonds watching her wax and wane through the darkness.
Their meetings are rare, but celebrated around the globe.
Entire populations stand in awe with shielded eyes to see these two great lovers entwined in the heavens.
For brief moments her radiance is all that can challenge his, until she moves on to dally amongst those more distant.
Leaving him once again to burn brightly in an empty sky
