MOON
The moon’s gravity caused the flux and reflux of the tides, And stimulated the development of life on earth If the sun represents the birth of life, The moon would represent the rhythm of life Evolution would differ without the moon
The moonlit dark night includes a mixture of life and death The body holding potential of receiving a new life, Is enfolded by the hair, having no end of life The hair, feeling no pain, passes on the DNA
The night has its own role The night– when the moon’s reflection lambently floats on the sea surface It is the time needed by the living matters Should human’s self-serving reasons disturb this time
In the moonlit sea, the desires for life emerge And deaths nearby with bated breath Would not the strain with the tension in the chaotic darkness Be necessary for every life
