sun / moon

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
