The moon in eternal stoic grace takes her place amid the starlight, the glowing mother of the sky who watches over every beating heart, steady and true. Like a mother, she comes to the sky, singing a soft lullaby, comforting us, and easing us into the gentle night. the pale crescent moon luminous orb in night sky silvered dreams take flight the comfort I seek is seeking me, glorious gold November moon

Your lunar salute is deeply moving. Dear Sara. Throughout history, poets have been inspired by the moon. The color of the moon is also significant since it represents the comfort we all want when looking.
