The Lady of the Night

Alone, Luna dominates the sky,
glowing from Sol’s reflected light.
Her mares, dark blotches set
against the white light.
She is the queen of the night sky,
full face proudly displayed.

Strange things are said to happen
when she rides her chariot across the sky.
Wolves utter 
lonesome cries.
Cursed individuals take the
form of the werewolf.
Humans go stark raving
mad.

We have physically touched her face
six times.
We have found her to be a harsh mistress
with no room for error.
She attracts our attention like no 
other night figure.
We will return, she is that gilded
lady that beckons us.
We cannot stay away.

"she is that gilded lady that beckons us." Yes, indeed, she keeps beckoning us. She attracts everyone, the young and the old. When moon does her somnambulistic walk at night, no body can ignore her. Well composed, dear Oliver.
