//------------------------------// // Sonnet 1 // Story: The Sisters' Coronet // by Fable Scroll //------------------------------// Two regal sisters rein in heaven's flight That sun will touch the earth with amber ray While Moon descends upon the mortal play To lift her charges up to greater height. In twilight, royal hosts in battle meet Celestial orbs deciding mortals' fates. The lady's faults the moon shows indiscreet: The silver orb reflects what gold donates. Were shooting stars that streak in dying flame Cast out upon the starless, vast expanse? A single, golden star makes lonesome claim While stars are locked in hidden, skybound frame. When mourning lights at far horizons dance New dawn reveals the paths of steadfast aim.
