A Hypnotizing Crystal Ball

The moon is a hypnotizing crystal ball. It sees your struggles and your hurt, and as it graces the glimmering night sky, it is silent as it glows. It shines the light on all the answers but only for a moment, like a dream forgotten in the first few moments of consciousness... It never rests, only guards you while you cry and while you wonder and boil and freeze Everything is clear as crystal during the night. During the day, we hide. At night, we creep into who we are. We don't like to admit it. We're prideful. But as the moon is our guardian It allures us to the surface of our own hardmetal skin, and melts it into irresistable tenderness. At night we feel the most at peace. At night we feel the most beautiful. But at night we feel exposed and the most insecure.

Enjoyed reading this because the moon is portrayed so clearly in terms of people's hopes and dreams. I too, like the last lines, it nails the poem down.
