Silly Little Moon

You envy me so

With all of your might

You want to steal all my warmth

And extinguish my light

 

You covet my power

And my celestial role

You want to replace me

With all your heart and soul

 

You yearn for the control

Over the mornings and day

Your greed for more time

Has lead you astray

 

You try to block me out

Every couple of years

Unable to completely do so

It brings you to tears

 

You obsess over my fame

You detest all my praise

You despise my allure

And my warm loving rays

 

Void of any beauty

You feel dead and cold

Stories of your greatness

Will never be told

 

Forever chasing the day

You’re bound to the night

You will never be happy

Till you’re the only one on sight

 

Your quest to seize the day

Is useless and in vain

You’re stuck in your own orbit

That feeds your jealousy and pain

 

Your chance of replacing me as a star

Won’t be coming soon

For I’m the life giving sun

 

Silly little moon....
