The Moon

Slowly, silently now the moon Shines in her silvery shoon Ever since the creation of the world The colour of the moon is always gold An essential planet at the service of humanity It continues to rotate for more than a century Frequently the moon changes shape From the crescent to the semi - lunar frame Gradually it matures into full moon Going around the earth singing her tune Whether young or old everyone loves the moon For it is considered as a sign of boon Together with the stars embellishing the sky Through its illumination the bat will fly With the help of divine light It brings forth the traveler's delight A common belief is that it influences the lunatic Of which many are still sceptic It's birth is based on a monthly apparition Deciding the exact dates of festivals and celebrations With its waxing and waning movement High and low tides are under its command Viewing the moon at night Is indeed a splendid sight
