Mooning Over the Moon

There's a soft glow about her Bardic feelings she does stir She waxes and wanes with time Has changing moods in night mime Sometimes, she's bright and happy Sometimes, gloomy and snappy Her humour affects the seas High tides and low tides do tease Her strength is seen in her scars She shines bright among the stars Enchanting like a woman The moon is nature’s lumen* 08.03.2021
