From Up there

I am nothing but a ball just hanging out there


You dearies get confused between

How I look and what I really am

I have no shine of my own,

And marred to the core

The unconditional love baffles me

For I just reflect what is thrown at me

You adore me at every stage of my rise and fall

Full, half or even stained

Even when I am completely invisible

You celebrate it as a thief’s night out!

Barring the power to alter the tides

There is hardly anything I do

Can’t imagine how I would be celebrated

If I really was the source of all the joy

Like the Sun or something
