Said the Moon to the Sun (Part 1)

You said unto me that I
am the moon to your night sky.
But what is the moon but a disc of white,
a single rock in space, a satellite whose light
does on the sun's light depend?

If you should say, "Shine, moon,
and go without the sun,"
I would say it cannot be,
for the moon shines from the sun,
and from the sun its life and beauty.
Lest the sun would gravely cease to be,
the moon would lose its face,
its light...
its entirety.

And I am your lifeless,
faceless moon,
thrust into space,
magnified by the light that comes from you, my sun.

So shine, my sun,
and fill this moon with the light that comes from you
that it may forevermore shine through
in the nighttime where darkness is due.
