Moon Goddess

Soft moonlight catches the eye
A luminous orb in the sky
A beacon both for you and I
Shadowed briefly as clouds pass by

Cratered deep on polar sides
Reflecting sunshine as it glides
Circling nights on cosmic rides
And affecting the ocean's tides

Sometimes bright and sometimes dull
Crescent, half, or completely full
With shades of ivory and steel wool
Held in check by gravity's pull

This goddess born from astral fires
A song erupts from Heaven's choirs
Poets write of mortal desires
And all the romance it inspires
