Our Moon

Luna the Moon
Earth's satellite
My, she looks so lovely and bright
 
She lightens our lands 
In her nightly gleam
This heavenly object in orbit dream
 
She's pitted and scarred
Through eons of hits
But still above us she patiently sits
 
Her ability to control our oceans and seas
Is quite a feat, considering where she!
To have the grace to invite us to land
To take her rocks and her lunar sands
 
So if we decide to habitat the Moon
She's the bride and man the groom
This beauty in the sky who shines at night
For millions of years such a wonderful sight.

It is amazing how the moon effects the tides,etc. Many don't know how it affects us also. When it is full we don't sleep as well. Women feel puffy. It is a beautiful sight. When I saw the lunar eclipse, I was awe struck. Thanks for writing this one. I really enjoyed it. Thanks for the comments on my poem The Spirit Flows. Keep writing. Sara

Very nice image of "Luna," James, and I like the way you give life via personification to Earth's revolving moon.
