The Sun For The Moon

The Sun For The Moon

by TRU Essence

I was the night and he, the day

I was the moon and he, the sun

No matter how we longed to be at one place

In the same space

At the same time

We were too different

He, demanding and fierce

Me, emotional and moody

We, passionate and loving but with boundaries

Neither one of us were aware of

I saw in his eye the need to be loved

Wanted and appreciated

He was unaware that I saw everything else as well

The longing he tried to hide behind ego and strength

Moonlight triggered my essence to expand and grasp the energy that propelled

Me towards loving him 

but he lie asleep and unaware

The sun rose and he was there to be my covering 

but I lie asleep and am unaware

The light was too harsh for me

Too bright for me

Too commanding for me

My shell protected me from the lion’s roar

I mistook it as anger

He intended it for love

The protector wanted to flow within the heart of the nurturer

but he was unsure

Unable to be honest with himself

To tell me who he was and what he wanted

The duality of our lives

Neither saw the other fully

The sun needed the moon

The moon desired the sun

From the earth, we appeared in the same sky

But too far apart to touch

Yet we were as far apart as the east is from the west

Neither shall meet at once
