Monday WRites 45

a Joe Rao, SPACE.com image

MOON
The moon is a luminous creature
She calls you away from twinkling stars
She is so much like a silent preacher
Telling telling of ways divine
Here, no blizzards blow for this luminous creature
Silent and watchful, today she is round
Slowly she'll etch herself, to a sickle feature
Or morph into shadowy moods as she pleases
Ah, but we know her wiles, we know her nature
We chart manipulations of, her waxing, her waning
We watch closely this luminous creature

    Such an enchanting verse :D especially loved these lines:

    She is so much like a silent preacher
    Telling telling of ways divine
    Here, no blizzards blow for this luminous creature
    Silent and watchful, today she is round

    Beautifully penned!
    Lots of love,
    Sanaa
