The King's Sun - A Poem by Moe

"Leave a light on..."

the king awoke at daily rise 

to catch a glimpse of her

while penning verse for sweetest eyes

for one he did prefer

at night she'd smile to sweetest themes

as king would speak soft tones

that she may rest to sweetest dreams

and feel the love she owns  

but then one day the time did come

eclipse would shield his day

for needful would his day be glum

that growth may come her way

celestial are rotations placed

for cycles to make straight

the path to truth all bodies faced

regarding wisdom's fate

so king imbibed all duty's wine

with paintings to appease

just knowing that his sun would shine

did set his heart at ease

now if eclipse outlasts his night

he knew his sun still shined

and if eclipse brought back her light

he'd love the more he'd find
