There once was a man who worshiped the moon.
Through all her phases he gazed each night at his beloved. Patiently he waited for her to rise, to cast her soft light through his window.
The moon, a sweet celestial goddess, trapped in the sky and held to her own orbit, could not return his love.
Faithful for all his years he loved no other but lovely Luna. She mourned his youth, gone as she tracked through heaven.
When at last he left his earth for the mortal’s eternal sleep, she grieved for loss and shaped her heart for him.
