Poem
To quantify an equation,
takes more than mere calculation,
Take the sun and moon, 
now consider they’re coordinations,
One 8 light minutes from earth, 
other just a single light second,
Both appear the same size in the sky, 
more or less it’s reckoned,

So how can it be, very simply 
put, it’s an optical illusion,
Sun is 400 times further away, 
and part of this cosmic collusion, 
While heck the moon is 400 times 
smaller, a very neat solution,
So in effect an eerie perfect 
resemblance, bit like evolution. 

I’m not buying random 
chaos, just because all appears right, 
Must take luminosity into 
consideration, to bring in the light,
This is where I have problems,
accepting some natural phenomena,
Damn moon is more than a rock,
reflecting rays of minuscule quanta. 

Every now and then, blocking 
the whole sun in a shadow, 
Albeit along strange curved paths, 
sometimes very narrow,
Such a perfect arrangement, 
one so complex, yet it’s known,
In geostationary observation, 
light photons reveal a solid stone. 

Bizarre or factual, we predict 
eclipses with unfailing accuracy,
Thousands of years past and future, 
are detailed miraculously,
But for me it’s too convenient, 
so much I refuse to believe,
This accident of serendipitous 
alignment, real purpose does deceive. 

A yardstick of information, 
used to prove Einsteins relativity,
During an eclipse, light from stars
behind the sun, bends in reactivity,
That moon is our starting point, 
Earths next stage of devolution,
Put there by god knows what, 
for humanities ultimate revolution. 

I know this poem is filled, with 
many cosmic contradictions,
Without any scientific limits,
my mind holds no restrictions,
Subjects always beg questions, 
blind acceptance just needs faith,
But we’re more than any rock, 
locked in gravitational embrace. 

These steppingstones to reality, 
lie strategically well placed,
All the information we need,
lies before our eyes in space,
Each one has pointers, not 
buried but within plain view,
Secrets can be deciphered, it’s 
human imagination solves the clue.

Einstein figured out relativity 
through his mind experiments
using the power of imagination
The moon proved he was right.
