From Nadir to Zenith and Back Again

From nadir to zenith and back again

The moon and sun both rival friends

Wrestling for the eyes of all below

Who shall win? no one quite knows


The sun, feeding the green earth with rays

Fights to reach the zenith throughout the day

Fights the stars to reach it’s peak

So he can shine with hope and glee

At the top the sun takes a well-deserved rest

But he can’t help but feel impending death


Suddenly the heavens start fighting back

Pushing him to his nadir, on a shameful path

He weeps and cries for his time is closing

And luna’s presence is fast approaching


The blue waves begin to rise and ebb

As the moon takes her place, a virulent deb

A parasite of the day, she steals the suns light

With the stars and the tides, she brings life to the night

But as night drones on, to the earth’s delight

Sol seeks vengeance, a noble fight


Soon the moon is driven to her nadir, out of sight

Her evanescent light fading out with night

So as the sun and the earth once again sing victorious songs of delight
The cycle resets and the moon will once again strike with a devastating blight
