Magical Orb

It shines each night sometimes its silver
then gold or even red depending on its mood
it lights our way through the darkness
it plays games peeking shyly through clouds

Then it turns into sullen stormy deep red and
it laughs at us as in and out of clouds plunging
the world to darkness and smiles as it reappears
beaming down having so much fun yes fun

Moon you do delight me with your moods
it must be so much fun to tease us nightly
playing so many tricks as high above us
you float sending down moon beams

You make the world so magical as you shine
casting deep shadows as you glide by
then in a blink disappears making earth go dark
whether a crescent, new, quarter half or full moon.

You fill the night sky with magical glory 
and cause the tides to obey your pull
as they ebb and rise at your whim
glorious moon stay a while longer
and enchant us with your magical ways

I loved the flow and almost 'magical' quality of your poem. Just today I was thinking of how magical I find the moon...you've touched upon lunar magic beautifully. Faving.

Dear Shadow, This was pure moonlit mischief and wonder. I love how you gave the moon a personality that is playful, moody, a bit of a trickster with a soft spot for awe. I love thqt you made the night sky feel alive and enchanted. Autumn Blessings, Dear Shadow, Daniel
