Most Significant

Original Submission by Souradeepa Saha

What if I say that you're the most significant person?

You say that they're ethereal

That they're glimmering as Moon.

But you keep forgetting that you're the Sun,

Who illuminates the Moon by comparing.

Still? Are they really beautiful if you haven't compared?

Or is it your comparison that makes them beautiful?

And again,

What if I say that you're the most significant person?

You are like the bishops and rooks and pawns and knights and the queen in a chess board.

You say the King is significant and you strive to save him till last.

But does the king play any role in the game and always he's behind?

Still? Is he really vital without your protection?

Or is it your protection that makes him significant?

So isn't

In every way, you're the most significant person in your life?
