the sun never made me feel serene in the way moon did

it always felt too bright, too harsh
with its orange tint and fiery breath

the moon though; silver and calm
would stir up countless emotions in me

i think the night sky is to be blamed too
with its dark velvet caress

i liked sunsets though
for they reminded me of my own blaze
that turned to ashes long ago

it was comforting to know that the fire that is the center of the cosmos hides away too

but then one day i saw how the colors of twilight touched you and created a halo of gold around your hair

and i have loved the sun ever since
