What if there were two moons
orbiting the earth
mirroring each other’s motion?
Will it be twice the magic
of soft moonbeams kissing one’s skin
twice the sighs
twice the dreams
whispered on moonlit nights?
I see twice the trouble
not so unlike a mother and father
always on collission
each gravitating for attention
swaying their child
to this way and that
pushing and pulling
until something snaps
Maybe, even a good thing can be just too much.

Last year, I read reports that the earth has two moons, the second one being much smaller than the one we are familiar with. It had me thinking about how life would be if the second moon comes close to the dimensions of the first.

Interesting thought.
Or a mother and father like a moon and a sun. It’s an astronomical coincidence that they appear to be of equal size and significance to us, but spiritually, maybe it is just so.
How easily our imagination moves what-ifs out of harmony and into collision! What if 2 moons meant correcting each other’s overbite so there are no more tsunamis? You’ve stimulated another poem, I think. Good, very good!
I’d love to see your take. 🙂
“Maybe, even a good thing can be just too much.” Yes, sometimes.
Hmmm, yes, could be problematical.
This is a cool perspective. I can see the difficulty especially if both were full at once.
There really is such a phenomenon as two moons. Cool poem.
Thanks. 🙂
