If I Could Be the Moon

Oh if I could be the moon The object of desire The pearl of the darkened night That sparks a lovers fire I'd shine with all my glory And illuminate the way Of strangers lost along the path Just seeking light of day Oh if I could be the moon I'd sit on heavens hill And watch down on the Earth at night While all is calm and still I'd glow for all the creatures That depend upon the night To keep them safe in shadows As they forage for their life Oh if I could be the moon A silent sentinal I'd ask the gods to move the Earth When I was less than full I'd burn through clouds I'd shine through rain I'd dominate the dark domain I'd call the stars to be my guest And join me in my lunar quest Oh if I could be the moon I'd never hide my face I'd shine so proud that all would know I've found my place in space Rockman

cleverly and well written. Your vocabulary is well chosen and your lines read smoothly (I always read my favorites aloud...and your work simply flows from the tongue!)

This was amazing, beautifully written. The imagery is outstanding, empowering in-fact, you have control of all my senses. The rhythm an flow was quiet smooth. The rhymes were perfect. A lovely piece. Thank you for sharing this exquisite writing. Chitta.
