Drawn To the Moon

DRAWN TO THE MOON

Hello up there!  I am always drawn to you and
every time I gaze at you, you are so mystifying.
A goddess looking down with a bemused smile.
Like a mysterious woman, bewitching, beguiling.

Your gender is supposed to be neutral in English.
Yet, you give the aura of feminine or yin energy.
Your light is bright; but tender like a night light
in the dark for a child to sleep through the night.

Unlike the sun’s light that becomes harsh, strong
and sometimes unbearable and can also be brutal.
Like Helios and Apollo, the strong Greek sun gods.
You on the other hand personify Luna, a goddess.

How can you not, you can change your shape being
full, crescent, first quarter, last quarter; like a woman
being a wife, mother, daughter, worker or homemaker. 
So as your full moon names that change every month.

You represent powerful feminine energy and you are
the most poetic symbol for poetry and literature, the 
symbol instilled by divine power to a feminine object
to show, imply, denote or express love and lovesickness.

Your bright light is so magical, bewitchingly putting
lovers under your spell for those moonlight kisses.

Enjoyed reading your contest entry. I don't see the moon very much for I am a day person. It is an interesting subject out there in space. Your works reads like a good contender to me. Way to go for the contest. Thanks for dropping by my page. Sara

This poem did not place. I'm a night person and I like looking at the sky at night with the cool breeze cooling off the sizzling temperature. Sometimes, the sky is light gray instead of black with all the studded stars. Just saw Jupiter and Venus shining so bright last week. Magnificent.

Very interesting. You make a good argument for the female gender, Marilene. I enjoyed your poem very much and wish you success in the contest.

Thanks, Milt. As always, making a good argument. When I was working, I needed that skill representing good arguments with the corporate lawyers why they were not complying to insurance laws. I guess, I still have that skill in me. LOL....
