Dear Moon,
I often look up when the world is asleep
To see your face, so peacefully deep.
You give me calm, remind me that there
Will be love after hate, and all will be fair.
If only these frustrated humans will look
Up at your face and remember they took
Only a fraction of time that we’ve been together.
So I thank you, moon, for being forever
By my side. Give yourself credit
For more than my tides. Our dance, you led it!
Without you, my friend, my wobbly spin
Would collapse my whole orbit. I hope you agree
That I need you just as much as you need me.
Keep dancing!
Your partner, Earth
Written in a beautiful scientific way.

Thanks for that one, i often get the feeling that we stop thinking about the moon. Somehow I think we believe that we have conquered it

That’s such an interesting hypothesis, I actually really agree with you! It’s no longer as mysterious and otherworldly as we used to think, once we’ve landed on it and broadcasted it live to the world, I feel like there was a collective realisation that it’s just another lump of rock. Thank you for your thoughts!

Yes we tend to get jaded as humans. I grew up in a place where we respect the moon and power it had over all of us. I am an island girl who use to live very close to the ocean so I knew what the moon can do.

I can imagine! It’s important to remember that we are no match for Mother Nature 🙂
