Oneness

 
the dawn was frightened
her nakedness shown
she was vulnerable in her light
everyone knew
 
the trees tried to shelter her
under the shade of understanding
but she was beside herself
 
she had wronged the night
the moon shone in her sky by daylight
a reminder of her shame
 
the birds all hushed
they would not usher in this day with song
the day wept bitter tears of regret
 
the night her betrothed  
called off their wedding
there would be no celestial oneness
with a woman who was dishonest
 
later the stars rose in the sky
each inscribed with her sorrow
love letters to the night
may he turn back his anger
 
the day burned with a passion for him
all the angels bear witness  
to the pain inflicted
the dawn was pristine
the night jaded
 
each with a story to tell
each deeply in love with the other
the day was captivated by their creator
her head was turned one day  
while he worked in the garden
writing messages on the winds  
for all the mortals
 
her heart swell inside herself at such beauty
the night was jealous of her love for another
she argued their amor  
would not be possible without him
the night relented  
his heart broken without her
 
he could not live without  
the dawn and her children
they would indeed be married
he cast all doubt into the pit of destruction
 
now here is wisdom
the night and day are forever joined in oneness
open your eyes and bare witness
oh mortals
