Influences of Luna

When she dresses in her full gown of white
And dances across the starlit sky at night
On sane men’s minds she will play a trick
And convert them into her lunatics.

Farmers will harvest when she abides
She influences oceans, moving their tides
Songs to her glory the wolves will howl
Sinister men, for her will prowl.

Young boys dream of visiting her in space
Mesmerized by her shinning face
Changes in a young girl’s body takes place
When Luna lights the sky with her full grace.

Luna lets you look her straight in the eye
Unlike the other god that graces the sky
But be aware of her influence over you
She can drive you mad and make you play the fool.
