 Destined Moon - a Fold

Blame it in the moon, she of waxing and waning,

Predestined through myriad phases,

All her life spent in shiftshaping,

All her wanders through continents,

Seemingly stationary, she of waxing and waning

Oceans and tides listen,

And farmer's worms digging,

Know how deep to penetrate,

In the job of soil airing,

And lovers too like to say,

Blame  it on the moon, she of waxing and waning.

    I enjoyed your fold about the shiftshaping moon, Gillena, and the reminder that she can’t help her waxing and waning – it’s her fate.
