The Fable
For some reason or other
love kept them apart.
She loved him
and he loved her.
There was a river
between them.
There was a mountain
between them.
He was the sun
and she was the moon.
She was the leaves
of a tree.
He was the roots
of a tree.
They longed
to be together.
They ached
the same ache.
One day
the river went dry.
The mountain
crumbled.
The trees
toppled against each other.
The sun and moon
collided.
The fog rolled in
obscuring our view.

I actually misread this the first time I read it. I read the last stanza as:
The fog rolled in
obscuring their view.
which changes the whole thing. I read it as Destiny refusing to be denied. In your version, well, we'll never know.
We'll never know...maybe...maybe not.
