Orange Moon



Orange moon
What are your secrets?

Very difficult to believe
that your relationship with earth
and the cosmos
is just cold mathematics


Dear night sky
What lies in your mysterious depths?
is it only atoms and protons

How arrogant it is to say

that you are nothing more
than an endless ocean of matter

How arrogant it is to say

that your wondrous beauty
remains vastly observerless

You have been around for billions of years
perhaps you have existed forever

I came from you
How am I alive
if you are not.


Question for the hard core physicalist:

Humans have written songs, poetry on the moon and the night sky for eons. Are they addressing dead matter? Are they fools?
