One moon is not enough

So they taught in school,

That Jupiter has 79 moons, And Saturn has 82,

If people lived on those planets,

What would they do??

How would they tell one moon from another,

And how would they study stuff,

And that always made me wonder,

If one moon is ever enough.

To be someone’s muse,

To be an inspiration,

To keep us awake at night,

In a despairing exasperation.

A moon to light up someone’s night,

A moon for a song to write,

A moon for a lullaby,

A moon for a passerby.

A moon to paint a canvas,

Where colours write a tale,

Of a starry sky that poured itself,

Into the blue sea’s grail.

And the stories that are written,

On nights when it went to fluff,

I do believe, for all it is,

One moon is never enough.
