Goodnight my Sister...

Description

Fate has been cruel and order unkind
How can I have sent you away?
The blame was my own; the punishment, yours
The harmony's silent today

But into the stillness I'll bring you a song
And I will your company keep
Till your tired eyes and my lullabies
Have carried you softly to sleep

Once did a pony who shone like the sun
Look out on her kingdom and sigh
She smiled and said, "Surely, there is no pony
So lovely and so well beloved as I"

So great was her reign and so brilliant her glory
That long was the shadow she cast
Which fell dark upon the young sister she loved
And grew only darker as days and nights passed

Lullay moon princess, goodnight sister mine
And rest now in moonlight's embrace
Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space

Carry the peace and the coolness of night
And carry my sorrow in kind
Luna, you're loved so much more than you know
Forgive me for being so blind

Soon did that pony take notice that others
Did not give her sister her due
And neither had she loved her as she deserved
She watched as her sister's unhappiness grew

But such is the way of the limelight, it sweetly
Takes hold of the mind of its host
And that foolish pony did nothing to stop
The destruction of one who had needed her most

Lullay moon princess, goodnight sister mine
And rest now in moonlight's embrace
Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space

Carry the peace and the coolness of night
And carry my sorrow in kind
Luna, you're loved so much more than you know
May troubles be far from your mind
And forgive me for being so blind

The years now before us
Fearful and unknown
I never imagined
I'd face them on my own

May these thousand winters
Swiftly pass, I pray
I love you; I miss you
All these miles away

May all your dreams be sweet tonight
Safe upon your bed of moonlight
And know not of sadness, pain, or care
And when I dream, I'll fly away and meet you there
Sleep...

:star::star::star::star::star: Impact

This piece really captures the essence of what created Nightmare Moon in the first place. Luna's somewhat faceless expression shows a silent sadness and sorrow building up, as she sits in the long, cold shadow of her celestial, ever-gleaming sister.

The originality in this sort of scene or pose is fairly well-known, but well executed and in a very appealing sense. I felt that there could have been something added, something to show hints of rebellion or anger, to really make this piece original.

I also feel that the colouring technique could have been tweaked (there is a point in Luna's back leg where you can see through to her tail, which should have been solid. Despite things like this, the colours are wonderfully smooth and should be noted that they reflect each sister well, and also highlight their respective poses in a way that really brings this piece together.

The impact of this is nail-on-the-coffin blunt, and really pops from the page. There are no confusions to be had, and the message is clear: Luna suffers from Celestia's brilliant glory. The fact that her sister so easily turned her head to Luna's blackening heart is very apparent, especially in Celestia's pose.

Overall, this is a wonderful piece that 'hides' it's minuscule flaws well and conveys a strong, beautiful and melancholy message throughout.
