Non-corporeal daughter of the moon
sits in the sea, the silver stone field
playing a somber solo on her shimmering cello
that rouses to consciousness the sleeping stars
and lulls to sleep the earthbound waters;
if all is quiet, the weeping strings you can hear.

Yet what restless soul still wanders here?
a young man born opposite to the moon
prince of the Sun, prince of the stars
who desires to sing to the song of the cello
but is forced to live apart from the dim-lit field
distance kept forever by cold milky waters.

At dawn the prince sits at edge of the waters
and with the sunbeams' intensity he strains to hear
the nighttime orchestra, as soft as the light of the moon
and as heartfelt as the passionate burning of the stars
all personified in the singing strings of the cello
with silvery sweet notes pouring from the lonely field.

From the desolate field to the infinite waters
the prince of stars searches for the cello
and yearns to hear the loving words of the maiden of the moon.
In Creative Writing we experimented in wiritng 'sestinas', and this was the result of my attempt. Did I do well? you tell me!

Hope y'all enjoy~! :heart:
