The Moon (A poem).

Yes, the full moon is beautiful,
but remember that it has a dark side;
and its shining light is not its own,
but a mere reflection.

While the sun is hot and can burn you,
it lights up your days,
always,
without fail.

...and the stars twinkle in the background,
forgetting that they are also like the sun,
great balls of fire that can light up the universe.

...and the planets swim along around the sun,
like dead fish that swim along with the stream.

...and then there are dead stars; the black holes;
but they don't know that they are "dead";
they suck the energy and destroy everything around them,
and spew deadly radiation that destroy life near and far away.

So...which one are you?

So, which one are you?
The universe has a lot to teach us, if we only look deep enough, hard enough.
From the biggest bodies like the stars and planets to the smallest and unseen particles like graviton (is that real or sci-fi?) and dark matter to the fact that quantum physics says our reality might just be an illusion.
(What a scary thought! There goes freewill and independent thinking.)

Well, no matter, I will still sleep soundly, since the Big Freeze or the Big Crunch (depending on which theory you accept) is still billions or trillions of years away.

Good night.

Footnote:

Tonight's and next month's full moon is a super full moon.
What is a "super full moon"?
According to this website, a Full Moon that occurs when the Moon is near its closest approach to Earth, it is called a Super Full Moon.
The moon should look very big, bigger than usual.
Perfect for lunar photography.
