Write a Myth: Tides
Write a Myth to explain the tides

Title: Waves

It was the bang that laid out this path.

Lovers more star crossed than

Any love past.

Sir Ur (our earth)

And lady moon

did swoon so!

This took place

In the hollow vacuum of space;

but it is that the gravity of the situation made it so

these two celestial Spheres

love affairs could never be.

So; Sir Ur

filled up with tears.

They swell when she is near.

Close, but

always too far to touch.

So it is so that

our Earth must

(try as it might),

Attempt to catch

the path of her flight.

Hoping against all reason

to bring them together

evermore.

It is as he weeps

That rain pours.

Waves will crash

on distant shores,

all while the

wind speaks the pained shrieks

of the fight.

This is why

every night

The lonely Lady moon comes.

Yet

(try as she might)

she too fails the plight

Never to reach

Her Sir Ur.

Like a siren to

Our world;

Her amorè.

It is

the thrashing tides

Who keep the score,

And their woes whisper in the wind.
