Special Relativeity

[An acrostic to my guiding star...on completing 27 revolutions around the sun.]

They say you are the star sun, I but a moon -
Hovering about you like a satellite:
Invisible to all in the brilliance of your noon,
Sparkling at night with your reflected light.
Over again, I am told to stop these chases,
Not to follow in your path or your pull,
Eschew your influence on my phases,
'Spin my own orbit' and live my life full.
Frankly I admit, I am not as bright
Or attractive or independent as you are;
Rest assured though, when the time is right,
Your moon shall rise and shine brighter than a star..
Oh! for if I were a star too, I wouldn't be of worth -
Unable to unsettle the tides of the Earth!
