A tiny moon in orbit wide Affects nought but ebb and tide And when attractive forces cease Then travel smooth upon release And soon another body found To establish an orbit around
But when the moon is tightly bound Its sovereignty no longer sound Could crack if catch unfriendly gaze Or blinded in a loving haze And when the light rejects the orb No happiness may it absorb
In darkness is it forced to dwell No more to have its feelings swell A shadow on its single face A forlorn voyager in space Alone and lost in emptiness No light to pierce its bitterness
