What is The Moon
to The Earth?
Merely a humble
and familiar
ol’ satellite..
That sheds upon
its darker side
a dim reflection
of The Sun..
as ghostly light.

That exerts upon
its surface tides
a gravitational pull.
But though
they may be
drawn to one
another..
come together
they may not..
that much is true.

For, if they were
to ever truly collide..
It would annihilate
all that is beautiful
about The Earth..
its life.
