An epic battle does ensue, it happens now and ‘gin, A terrible friction does exist, since time did begin. No one knows what started off, this feud since time’s beginning, Nor is it clear if ground is gained, or if either is winning. It is a war that has been waged, and watched by hundreds, millions, The whole world takes notice, it is sought to see by billions. The battles great, carry on, and blacken the whole Earth, Darkness covers all the land, when amid its dearth. Yet, people come from afar, to view this battle rage, A war between two massive beings, who’ll fight to the next age. The sky, it turns inky black, and a ring of fire glows, More than one has been blinded, by witnessing the throws, of this battle, as it beckons, so hard to look away, Never knowing who will be the victor, at the end of day. It is a hard conception, perhaps to understand, Why two things would fight, but not for wealth or land. Not for goods or services, no extra power gained, They are the two most powerful, creatures, the sky to reign. This mystery is a riddle, rewritten though never done, When the Earth is eclipsed, in the battle of Earth and Sun. Some might think Sol the winner, because he has such might, There’s still that ring of fire, but Luna brings the night. She will not be outwitted, our blue, grey, midnight friend, And that’s why this battle rages, from beginning of time to end. There is no hope for victory, both parties evenly matched, What could have been a friendship, is a feud that can’t be patched. In the meantime, people clamor, tis a sight few want to miss, As the world is cast in shadow, by a solar eclipse.
