the moon
depends on the sunlight to allow it to shine
and even then
it isn't bright
but we see it
and it is beautiful

the sun is visible
except at night
when it allows the moon
a glimpse,
into the spotlight

what if the moon believed that she had no use
just stealing the light of others
using it to shine

but really, she does have a purpose
she reminds us that the sun
is always there
even at night
when we cannot see her,
her light being swallowed by the moon
allowing the night to shine
and preventing a sky of doom
