Another Perspective

From earth's shore, the sun is more.
Without it's light, the day is night. 

Yet it's the earth, in its obsession,
that orbits the sun as its possession. 

Chasing warmth, gets pulled and spun
A losing game, that's not been fun. 

But that defeat was subjective 
being seen, from the wrong perspective. 

The universe so vast and grand, 
Fits in the palm of my father's hand. 

The sun may be the center of the solar system, 
but I belong to an eternal kingdom

Hi Ximena. I like strong words with strong meaning in poetry. I enjoyed this poem and I found it quite meaningful, particularly the last couplet.
