Sun and Moon



As the sea

swallowed the  sun once again, a single tear  rolled down

her cheek, and I  could not help but

ask her, "Oh sun, why do you weep as you do?"

And with a smile that nearly leaped                     across her cheeks, she simply  said, "Here comes the moon."

And it was in that moment

that I discovered all

of the mysteries in                         the universe.
