A glowing orb, reflecting distant light,
You calm and soothe our planet’s ebb and flow;
But how much can we say we truly know,
When our eyes meet across the darkest night.
 
We theorised an impact of great might,
From whose debris you burst and sought to grow;
A glowing orb, reflecting distant light,
You calm and soothe our planet’s ebb and flow.
 
But something pulls and does not quite feel right.
Instead of splitting with a glancing blow,
We shared a universal embryo;
Our histories entwined since our birth rite,
A glowing orb, reflecting distant light.
