Praying
Once, Twilight Sparkle went to the Royal Balcony.
She had been invited by the Princess to accompany her in praying.
It was night.
The sky was clear that day. The moon clearly seen among the stars.
At first the Princess was silent. Her eyes closed in contemplation.
Twilight thought that she had started praying already, and made a move to start her own.
Then Princess Celestia opened her eyes.
It was in an instant. The Princess flapped once, then twice, and her body went into the air just like it had been when she had raised the sun in the Summer Sun Celebration.
Eyes shone a brilliant white.
She prayed.
"IN THE MOONLIGHT A WORM
"SILENTLY
"DRILLS THROUGH A CHESTNUT!"
Twilight knew that from that moment on she would never look at the Princess the same way ever again.
AN: Imagine that in the Royal Canterlot Voice, in case you didn't get it. Anyway so this is something I squeezed just before going to work. The Haiku belongs to Matsuo Basho. I was looking for moon poem and I thought this one was strangely fitting. Something of a Celestia reading poetry to Luna every night to help her pass the time or something, in a way that Luna understood, of course. And well, there's hints of the future here, as well.
Anyway, I have to say I didn't mean to let time fly by so fast. It wasn't until I got CatClanWarriorLeader's review that I realized I really, really needed to make sure in everybody's minds that I am indeed a kidnapper and his/her fears were entirely founded-just kidding. But seriously, that review was so strangely motivating that I finally got a breakout to push this tidbit out. Someone (can't quite remember who, right now) said that you can't wait for inspiration, you have to go after it with a club, and I totally agree. Sadly, I haven't been really committed in that regard.
Thanks to everyone who reviewed, and those who added this to their favorites and alerts in spite of it not having been updated in months. Kudos to you all.
