#we orbit the sun as one of many#small and indistinct in her burning unblinking gaze#the moon was born with us#a collision that reassembled rock and matter into two beings; into moon-and-earth. earth-and-moon#it was pure chance#it was the beginning of a symbiotic waltz through the millennias#for the earth she is a glowing knight in silver#her weight a shield that pulls away the meteors and debris#she is a metronome; we spin in constant rhythm; we never miss a beat#she is a magnet; a commander of our tides; our great wide oceans and tectonic plates and bubbling magma underneath#she is a mirror; a silver lamp in the void#a sieve that filters the suns unrelentingly eye into soft grey light#a guide for the moths and bats; the penguins and migrating sea turtles#our benevolent lighthouse#our lucky coin#and in return we love her#we love her like a sister; a goddess; a friend#two lonely rocks in a wide wide galaxy#in the space between they whisper ‘oh you mean the universe to me’
