Eclipse
"the moon so loved the sun that she cried for him every night, when he disappeared and she remained with her fellow stars. The stars saw the moon crying and all together gathered embracing her as if embracing their mother. The moon many times almost fell, defying gravity, due to intense sorrow. And all the stars, together, lifted her back up with struggle. The moon so loved the sun that she tried to look like the earth, for that is the planet the sun cared for. Not her, not the moon. So she tried to make herself look like the earth, but failed. For the moon is so different from the earth.... She could only watch as the sun offered some light to the moon, but most of it towards the earth. The moon so loved the sun that it cried when trying to seek the suns attention but the sun too far away. Yet his light strong enough to remind the moon of his unyielding existence,making her longing more intense. As much as the moon tried to close its eyes and avoid the suns bright light, the light could always reach. One day, the moon so loved the sun, that it couldn't take it anymore. It started to fall, and this time, it was heavier than the last times. The stars couldn't lift her and she fell... slowly getting almost lost"
