Moon shines down onto Earth <br />But does she ever really shine? <br />Or does she just reflect Sun’s light <br />A sad excuse for originality <br />Always trying <br />Never succeeding <br />To cast her own rays <br />Coming and going <br />Offering mystery, hope, light <br />Staying for a few short hours <br />Leaving much too soon <br />Although she struggles to break free of the trap of reflected rays <br />She’s content <br />With her lot in life <br />Even though she can’t make her own light <br /> Nobody will gaze up at Sun in wonderment <br />That is something reserved for Moon <br />Sun and Moon work together <br />Like brother and sister <br />Fighting every once and a while <br />But loving each other nonetheless <br />The end result being a beautiful light <br />Always shining down <br />Putting aside their differences <br />Sun admitting Moon is prettier <br />Moon admitting Sun is more powerful <br />A peaceful companionship <br />Tell me: why can’t the rest of the world act like Sun and Moon?<br /><br />maddie bird<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/moon-s-tears/
