A Curious Deception

A Curious Deception

It’s curious how the moon glides calmly

through the night sky, serenely shining down

on peace and wars alike, when all the while

it is tugging and pulling at this planet earth

silently directing time and tides and

migrating birds and you and me

Yes! And she’s doing it all on borrowed light! I couldn’t agree more!

It is truly mysterious.. and yet perfectly possible to calculate with a few simple formulas

I love the flow of this and the calm acceptance that we are all carried by the moon’s tides. I love the image of the moon:

‘serenely shining down
on peace and wars alike’
