Elements vying for my company
With fervor, Aeolus clasp my being
An embrace snatched by Terra
Here and there a kiss
Courtesy of a nippy drizzle
O! Midnight! Ever so lovingly you cloak me
With your dusky blue blanket
I ride this verdant carpet
Mine for the taking
Sat on my sturdy steed did I
When a light glow caught my eye
Luna! My sister!
Ride you beside me?
Her answer?
Only a smile
A vision
Mysterious, yet surely artless.
La Luna, sisters we are
We ride together
To paths unknown
No winner, no loser!
You in the skies
And me on land.
Freedom stretches before us
No impairment
No schedule
No, nothing to stop us
Time unravels itself before us
Unseen, unknown
Boundless eternity
At our hand
To race unlimited
No thoughts about the next hour
Just now, just this
Head to head we go
None gaining in speed
Wait! Did I just overtake?
Or was it my imagination?
“Your imagination!” she playfully said.
Enchanting was her presence
Transcendental beauty, so enthralling
Sisters we are
Sisters we always will be
Her aura a surety
Our bond impenetrable
Neither man, nor god can
Break this unity
We ride
She on my side
And I on hers
We ride!
Beyond is our destination
Our resolve, unbreakable!
