Midweek fiction: A Song for the Moon

Written for “WarmupWednesday”, the prompt was the photo below and you had to include a word of gibberish. 

A Song for the Moon

I played the moon a song to keep her from leaving.

People tell how the moon was the sun's lover in an age long forgotten. But their ways parted and the sun forsook the moon and left her to wander the paths of heaven alone. The stars took pity on her loneliness and played the music of lulurasetsin for her. She tarried in the sky, listening, never leaving earth’s side.

But the stars are dimming. And, with them, their music.


I will play star music for her, hoping that she will tarry here and not leave again to wander alone.
