Moon

Moon You may be cool and distant Placing comfort in my soul I love you when you're slender Then much more so when you're whole Turn your face towards me In radiant, wholesome light You're there throughout my daytime But I feel you when it's night Your blueness is hypnotic Yet it wakes me from my dreams I'm wooed like all the creatures Who turn to you in streams Wolves howling their approval Of your tenure undebated We sing of love beneath you Longing humans captivated Your dusty earth seems fruitless Yet your story, still romantic The race to populate you; Sometimes pointless and pedantic There's a rumour that you're cheesy Even if I think it's true.. I would rather you were cheddar Than some over-ripened blue You shelter us from missiles Hurled our way from outerspace I consider you Protector Of this fragile human race As tides like lungs beat rhythm On the shorelines of our Earth It's clear no single poet Will ever captivate your worth Jinjagoliath 6th February 2023
