They think that you are changing now, while I remain the same
It is a matter of perspective, or perhaps they are simply wrong
I am the Earth and you are the Sun
I seem to be steady and unchanging while you plot your slightly varying course above me
Never still, traversing my horizons
While I stay fixed, immovable, and unaltered.
But in truth, it is I who hurtles recklessly through space
Bound only to the edge of your influence
While you unerringly grant me light to live by
From your place in the heavens above my sky
And I am moving, ever moving, turning and spinning and changing
Through hour and day and season and year
You are the Sun and I am the Earth
And we speak to each other through the Moon.
I may be unaltered of body, but my mind and soul hurtle
From one extreme to the other
Anchored only by thoughts and love for you
Perhaps your body does change, a slow progression allotted by time
And the miracles of modern medicine
But only to serve your more rigid, fixed mind and soul
Living as it was all meant to be.
The Sun is set now, and it is mighty dark
A sky now dim and dappled with weaker stars
The Earth still plummets in its rash journey
Its mad traverse of this orbit
You are far from me, across the miles
But we can both see the same moon.
