The Earths View
The moon is not just a mere imitation of the sun. It rather is all of the
softened light and brightness that the sun fails to let shine through
instead of its harsh harming rays. It shines in its whitewashed sickly way as it travels the not so distance reaches of space coming back to its same place. The sun sits on its throne in the center of its territory inescapably effulgent with sharpened teeth, villainous grin with a blood curdling laughter that readily is mistaken for joy or happiness. For in reality it itself cannot get away, it will never get away.
The masterfully maudlin Moon in its quiet quiet glow dominates the night,
giving peace and rest in its presence.
By day though, all is undone as the golden god sun returns.
she eats ravenously away at what this melancholy
moon has done, as the green grass becomes a nausea inducing brown
and all things dry up and burn, calls it her own,
then spits it back for the moon to repair
repeated cycle. but it cant get away, it will never get away.
The mellow moon in all its serenity calls the waters to it.
And as the sophomoric sea collects at the sandy edges it gets as close as it can
to the moon and envies the false freedom that it has
the privilege of enduring. As the dawn comes the oceans
shrink back for fear of withering in a pitiful fashion. For they cannot get,
away they will never get away
The moon sits in its domain slowly circumnavigating that with which holds
it back. the strings of space time and unfortunate circumstance grasp it and
keep it hovering. How it wishes it could leave. Find another place far far far
from its parent sun. The sun though is satisfied by where it is and
grips the manic moons asylum to keep it in place. For it cannot get away,
it will never get away
Only once in a while does the chagrin moon gather the courage
to face the sun and in this moment all becomes dark and the equanimous earth
stands still and gazes upon the two.
