A moon

Life of moon is pretty boring... nothing much changes here. No life... no storms. But i used to see life on earth, happy and happening. I knew there are many stars and i am a bit bigger and brighter than others. It made me happier than ever.

Then one day i realized earth was revolving around me. It made me more happy. Things seemed to be moving now. At least there was a life on earth. I felt like living. I changed my look. Sometimes i was a full bright moon, sometime only enough to be visible. This hide and seek made me playful.

But somewhere truth was seeking me. One day... the hard truth came in my way. Earth was not revolving around me. It was me who was revolving around every month. That day was eclipse in my life. I tried to hide... but soon that was over and i had to face the reality.

I started living again.. at least i was revolving around the earth. It did not mattered if she was stationary. I was happy again.

But still the day was about to come. A star passed near me and whispered in my ear something. I stopped for a day or two. My earth was not stationary, it was revolving around sun. That day for the first time, i felt burnt by sun's shine. I envy him, but it was something which i had to accept.

I still revolve around the earth and she around the sun. Still i am brighter among other star... still there is a life on earth... still i change my brightness every day... but perhaps that shine is gone. The life is now on earth only.

I am still the same moon...
