Ruler of the Night Sky

Ruler of the night sky Lesser in glory than your majestic counterpart A celestial beauty yet You are only acknowledged with naked eyes Never felt in naked hearts You make your power evident I see your gravitational pull at high tide But others dismiss the ocean for the sky Only believing in light And you do not create, just reflect Ruler of the night sky Always deemed unworthy of unveiling your face In daytime, do not remove Your covering lest you pollute The firmaments with shame But your power remains evident And soon you’ll intercept the sky Cloak the sun with darkness Yet exemplifying mercy As you let his umbra breathe Cold and mysterious The dark side of the moon is your truth Your luminous white body is a distant memory Tables turn The sun is now in phases Waxing and waning Your power has always been evident But those of feeble faith return to sight Your reign is short-lived Your glory lies in reflecting light Your glory Ruler of the night sky Your invalidated crown hangs by threads As naked eyes worship the golden king And you disappear from hearts
