This poem draws inspiration from a Japanese legend about the enduring love between the sun and the moon. Despite being separated by time and space, their love is unwavering. The sun’s intense heat contrasts with the moon’s serene beauty, leading to moments of doubt for the moon. Yet, the sun cherishes her uniqueness, while the moon waits patiently for their reunion. Their longing culminates in the divine creation of an eclipse, which allows their reunion, thus symbolizing that true love can overcome obstacles. The moral emphasizes that with determination and faith, no love is impossible, and the Divine may respond to sincere devotion.
