Everyday he looked down to earth and watched the peaceful inhabitants waking up to the rising sun...doing there chores and daily work as the sun approached the highest of its peek...and saw them returning to there homes as he approached the end of his cycle..... he wondered what it feels like to be like one of them ....he wished and prayed to be just like them...but he had to keep the sun going across the heavens he had to keep the balance between day and night...that was his duty...without the sun the inhabitants would not wake up...or go to do there errands and chores. he had to keep the balance that reigned on earth that was his destiny. One day as he looked down to earth he noticed a young man and a young woman crossing the woods and rested under an old oak tree and wondered what and why they were so far from the others...the next day he noticed them again...and again...and again ...it happened every day for days, weeks and months...the young God watched over the two lovers every single day...he smiled and shined upon them in the cold winter(y) days to keep them warm....and hid the sun rays in the leaves of the old oak tree in summer...where they rested. He now learnt to love....the two lovers where now his friends and made time non existent to him, he was now happy to wake up and start his daily cycle, just to be able to watch over his friends.
He was happy to be able to love some one, but the truth....did they love him back? did they know he existed? he could just watch over them nothing more. The young God deep inside his core envied the two..he wished with all of his heart that he could meet some one and talk....some one to share, some one to listen to him and he listening to her just like the two lovers did. But no one would dare get close to him...he was high in the sky and the inhabitants would never get any near... and besides the sun was to hot it could kill them....the young God was to far to reach!..... He had the earth and life upon it way down below, and the stars high above him, they too where just to far to listen to him. Poor God of the sun he could watch every single living creature form high above and they could look up to him in his mighty glory, but he was lonely... Even the young couple that he cherished so much grew old and eventually died as the years passed. He felt that he was even more lonely now that they were gone, he shed tears cold as ice that turned into steam as they touched the fire(y) sun, staining it with black spots dark as the night like tar.
"What is wrong?" the father of all Gods asked,
"why are you crying my son?" smiling at the young God of the sun.
The young god looked up at him and replied "I might be mighty and beautiful, strong and powerful, but it gets lonely to be up here all alone staring to the world while life unfolds before my eyes, they need me and I love to help the creature on earth, I wake them up, I warm them up, I make the rye grow in the fields, I shine my love to them...but why no one can love me back?".
The old father of all Gods smiled at him, and softly said, "My son, I have created all of the gods to keep balance on earth to keep seasons on time to look after every living creatures and keep harmony on this beautiful world, but even Gods make mistakes....I forgot to look after my children..."
The old God shed a tear shiny as the stars pure as silver and with it created a sphere he called it Moon. Then he reached for the elements he kept in his pocket, collected star dust from the heavens and blew life into it...he gave life to a Goddess he named Luna.
He smiled at the young god of the sun and said, "My son you shall not be lonely any more in the sky, she will accompany you trough your cycle....but remember your duty, your duty and destiny you are the king of the day and barer of fire .....and she...she is the Queen of the night barer of ice. Together you shall rule the sky and keep balance, none of you shall interfere with the others duty".He smiled again and continued "My son you'll see Luna every day across the heavens but you will touch her only on the days I will call eclipse, on these special days it will be nor day or night....but remember balance shall be kept the night must fall and the day must rise"
And for generations after generations that is what happened, every single day the two met in heaven, now even the night was not too dark any more, there was the silvery reflection of the beautiful moon to give light.
On the day the Old God called eclipse the two embraced each other making the sun almost fade and the moon almost melt as they cycled, making love,showing love.... just for a few moments. the both smiled as they collided the light from the sun and the brilliance of the moon, none of them victorious! as both overwhelmed the other....it was then when the inhabitants noticed as they looked up to the sky how important the sun is and how lucky they are to have it! now they had a gift too, the gift of the moon, to watch over them, and break the darkness of the night.
When I was little I used to write stories down on paper, I remember I loved to do so..still do!
