Half-Lit Moon

Haze up in the heavens encircles this orb. Half-dark, half-light, shines from above. Twinkles of light appear to absorb. Fractions of darkness within lighted glove, Speaking to lovers held in each other’s arms. Answering questions of science to some, Floating around spreading blessed charms, Listening close at times, hearing a hum. Lovers for centuries, graciously, captured by, Sweet serenity and magical mystery, Others entranced with secrets, which fly. From words written and spoken in history. Satellite, orb, lady, they are all the same. Mythical goddesses, gripped in flame. These tales have spread so many games. This object seen most nights has no shame.
