the sun rose, filling the land with light
the animals rejoiced and danced
everything was beautiful, only if you didn’t look too close
some plants began to dry out
their pleads for shade were unheard and ignored
their lives dwindled as the sun never left
and no one mentioned the moon as she set
why would they?
they basked in the warm sunlight, ignorant to darkness falling upon the other half of the world
as the animals rejoiced, the plants dried out, and the rest of the world was shut out and forced away
the sun didn’t care enough to share his sunlightÂ
to the rest
so, the sun continues dressing his lands with his ray of light, taking in his glory
the moon stays solemn and quiet, knowing her pleads to the sun won’t save her land or even his own plants
