Ode To the Moon

In the night sky there she smiles
Watching lovers from distant miles
After Mr, Sun neglects the world
The gracious moon starts to unfold
Joyful hearts wait the chance
To see the moon spread romance
She’s radiant, sensual, glowing bright,
A witness to bodies fused at night
To lonely hearts, warmth she gives
To broken souls, light she leaves
Could this sparkling jewel in the sky
Be afraid to fall that high?
Oh lovely maiden up above
Does she weep she cannot love?

Great ending question to leave the reader wondering! Oh the sun and the moon play their parts so well and you described the moon playing witness to the world so well. Good job.

Nice imagination, John. Sun neglects and lady moon spreads her grace. The last question is heart touching.
