the sun is a star


 

It takes time passing slowing to realize which light source to trust

The sun is bright and loud

He argues for your attention 

He burns to be seen

to be felt

A star is fleeting and hopeful 

it doesn’t care if you miss your chance

it will keep flying without you

the sun is also a star

A star waiting to combust

That engulfing light shall consume much more than it was meant to

The sun shall eat and eat and eat until all other stars have died

Stars can’t live forever 

Hopeful they may be, 

a star never dies alone

 

The moon is soft

gentle

kind

She is a steadfast rock in space

She does not waver or hide her dark side

A moon is never just one thing

She is the reflection 

She is your reflection 

see what you want

you don’t need wishes for the moon
