Days and nights and eons ago
the sun ran away from the moon.
he went to parts unknown--the universe
he said,
was his oyster.
mama moon didn't know what he meant
but she let him go.
she knew
because mamas always know these things
that if she made him stay
his light would dim down
till there was nothing left
so
she let him go
and her heart, that once
was so strong,
so pure, it sang lullabyes to the cosmos

*beams* I'm so glad people like this poem so much. It's actually a Christmas present for a dear friend of mine, and so I'm glad it isn't horrible. yay!!
You know I love this piece, darling. And since I already commented on it at that Other Place (*shudders in fear*), I won't. Except to say that it's one of my FAVORITES of yours.
Love you!!
i love the picture this part paints

and "[singing] lullbies to the cosmos", wonderful.
Thanks for the spelling things, bubble, I'll fix them. (I am the reason Spell Check was invented, I swear to God(dess).)

Love this section. "Days and nights and eons ago" - awesome! Just one dash should do between "unknown" and "the universe". Otherwise, great.

Do I have to say beautiful again? I cant find anything to critique about this bit. Its perfect. I love it.

The only thing I recommend for this verse is...uh...aha, yes, I have found one thing. "where" should read "were". And "lullabyes" should read "lullabies". Otherwise, magnifico. I really love that last line. And the line about singing lullabies to the cosmos. Breathtaking. Great work - keep it up!
