A yellow sun, upon the earth, cradles a cocoon
From this emerges something new, a pale and fractured moon
Splintered by a gentle touch, the pieces drift away
To usher in, before too long, an ever brighter day.

Hi there, riddlers! Please remember to spoiler-tag all guesses, like so:
Most users: https://i.imgur.com/SWHRR9M.jpg
Using markdown editor or old Reddit: >!spoiler text between these symbols!<
Try to avoid leading or trailing spaces. These will break the spoiler for some users (such as those using old.reddit.com)
If your comment does not contain a guess, start your comment with either "Discussion:" or "Question:"
Please report any answers that are not properly spoiler-tagged.

Sorry, no; I don't think it fits.

Hmm, sorry, I don't see how it fits most of the riddle.
Correct! Well done.
Did you find this one a little bit too easy? I'm trying to decide whether to revise it a bit...
I found the use of >!"drifted away"!< was one of the largest giveaways for me. And then again I'm a fairly visual thinker, so I literally imagined >!a yellow circle turning into a white one and breaking into shards that floated away.!<
I really like it as it is, the language is very evocative.
I see; that is the same part that I worried was a bit too direct. If I changed anything it would likely be that part, but I may leave it as it is. Thanks :)
