The Lovely Moon
The Moons Scar

There was once a lovely maiden
She was the maiden of the moon
A graceful gentle beauty,
She walked the valley of shadow and sorrow and sighs
On her lonely moon.
The moon maiden would gaze out towards the stars, continuously lost in thought,
entranced with the beauty of the light and darkness.
The other planets admired the moons beauty for it was unscarred.
The other planets warned her “You can try to lock your heart away, but a runaway star may come back for you one day..
The moon maiden pondered those words
She then became cautious of the shooting stars falling towards the planets
The moon maiden thought she could hide from the scars that such stars always brings

Then one day, quite unexpectedly, a runaway star crashed into the moon.
It was a star was a prince
The moon maiden was curious of the star prince, so different from her yet in a strange manner, unexplainably somewhat alike.
With the presence of the star prince, the moon maiden did not feel so lonely anymore.
They walked together and talked together, he uncannily made her laugh and smile, see everything in a different point of view. He would even often sing to her, at her request, until one day the star prince had to continue on his journey.
The moon maidens heart became heavy.
The star prince told her he would one day return.
He then went along like a flash of pure lightning.

The moon maiden gave out a small sigh. “He crashed into my life like a runaway star…”
The moon maiden looked at the area where the star prince first landed
it indeed left a scar on the once unmarked moon, as the other planets cautioned her about.
“Yet, I wouldn’t trade those moments for anything in the world…” she said with a small smile.

That is why, when you look up at the scarred moon, you can feel a sort of bittersweet sadness.
The lovely maiden still resides in the moon, as gentle and mysterious as ever, perhaps awaiting for the return of the star prince.
