The Moon Vision

I am the moon
I am here I do not swoon
I am at peace
Gravity embraces me, surrounds me
I am full but not always seen
My corridors of truth are hidden
The sun shines on me, but most do not see
I have my own arcane depths
A side of mystery, a side of secret
Not of darkness but a side of rebellious fire
The earth cannot see my desire
They won’t understand, my other half
My face of sonorous wrath.
I am flashed with light and create a dazzling glow
So celestial, so pure
But still a face of murmurous shadow
Every moon has a division
One side in the light, one in the dark
In darkness she will defend herself and prove her faith
Until the light enhances her beauty and sparks her glow.
No doubt she is of good
Something unknown is not to be feared
A sacred heart is not to be judged
She has her own surreal path, a way of devotion
Nothing to prove
She has herself 
Still turning to the gorgeous sun to accept its never-ending grace.
But they must know
She isn’t always for show.

Amber,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
