The Ancient Delight of Lunar Light

A full moon glows again tonight.
Why is it so mesmerizing?
Physics tells us that gravity,
Between the earth and moon,
Keeps them both on track,
As the circle round each other,
On their annual oval,
Around our star.
Maybe moonlight is hypnotic,
Because it actually is sunlight,
And the moon a mirror of the stardust,
That we all are
