The moon

It was a night of no moon and I was bored with studying. So I was just looking around and up in the sky. When I realized that there was no moon in the sky, these thoughts combined with thoughts of secondary body revolving around primary body (courtesy satellite communication-engineering subject) and came up with this.....


Earth circles around the sun
she thinks he's the brightest one

Day time it's energy earth inhales
but during night there is someone else

Calm, soothing moon is comparatively small
but he's the one breaking darkness wall

Sun's brightness shadows moon's importance
does earth think about moon even once

Maybe that hurts moon very much sometimes
maybe that's why very high tides arise

Earth looks up to moon in dark times
moon doesn't disappoint barring two monthly nights

Moon wants to say to earth
"My world is you,
my life has always been
literally revolving around you"

The situation appears to be very funny
after all there exists something called irony

I myself am confused as I write
just a point of view, don't know wrong or right
