Universal Love Affair

As the moon is embraced by a pink cloud
Sailing past in a pale blue sky
All the heavens rejoice with amusement
Love-struck clouds do not often float by
And though nightfall approaches with quick speed
Still the cloud lingers on with her moon
Whisp'ring tender sweet-nothings yet sighing
For she knows that their time will end soon
But for now, all who look to the cosmos
Have their faith reaffirmed in true love
For the couple lean in for a kiss now
And faint magic shines high up above
Yet the moment of sweetest surrender
Is destroyed by the limits of space
For the moon stands too far from earth's surface
For the cloud to reach out to his face
And the shattered cloud breaks into pieces
While the moon's light is dimmed with despair
Then the night falls and sings ever softly
So to mourn for their doomed love affair
