Up above the world so high.

Rediscovered an old piece, lay somewhere dormant in drafts. It is based on a slightly twisted/orphaned/poor understanding of science. 

Moon is a dark round shaped object, one of it is somewhere in the space near to our planet Earth. It does not possess its own light. Yet, over centuries, its majestic beauty has compelled to bring out the best of poets and singers. It stands powerfully and confidently in the dark night, all alone. Shining bright; mutely experiencing millions praise its worth throughout the globe. For so many years, its beauty has actually confused humans. Upon the discovery that moon is nothing but a mere reflection of Light bewildered us. It left us astounded at its capability to shine in the midst of nothingness. 

Moon reflects the Light from the Brighter side of Earth to the darker side of the Earth. It stands diligently, reflecting and guiding. Helping us determine our calenders, helping poets become poets, helping seekers become seekers; inspiring many. It just stands there. How calculated is its cycle of giving us light from its Light, gradually increasing, reaching the optimum and gradually decreasing again. But never for once, does it disappear from its duty of Reflecting Light. 

We too stumble upon such creations' Reflection on this planet. They reflect the beauty of Ultimate Beauty. They are in reality, nothing on their own, but the Most Precious Reflection of Light somewhere. When the night gets darker, they host our darkened paths with the Ray of Hope. An illustrative Beauty of Reality. A Reflection of Happiness from the Brighter side of Life. They feed us on the Light from the other side. They sustain our Faith. It is like, they inhale deeply from the Fresh and Joyful side of Life and blow it into your beings. They push us through the night with a moment by moment promise of The Dawn. They also often teach us to be the moon, for ourselves and others.

Praise or no praise, comfort or no comfort, whether we look up at the moon or not, the Moon remains. The moon did not start reflecting Light and guiding us just to acquire the praise of poets at the first place anyway. For it is attached to a Bigger Duty. To a Bigger Role. To a Bigger Light. For it has been created very empty to Reflect the Brightest. 

Every human has an orbiting duty of a moon within. It is a system synchronized with the dark and the bright days within and outside of us. Just like atoms bumping into each other, we too bump into each other; it is then, thus our duty to reflect the Brighter Side of Life into them. It is not a favour. It is not an extra deed. It is our duty. Praise or no praise, comfort or no comfort, whether we are looked up at or not, we should perform. For we were not created to acquire the praise at the first place anyway. For we have been attached to a Bigger Duty. To a Bigger Role. To a Bigger Role. To a Bigger Light. For we have been created empty to Reflect the Brightest.
