Your Loving Moon

~~~

Eons are scarred across my face

You the beauty to my beast

Orbiting around your treasured space

So, on you my eyes may feast

~~~

Never able to turn and look away

My stare frozen by the energy

And as each night breaks to day

You pull at me constantly

~~~

Often feeling unnoticed

As I fade in other’s bright light

Wondering if I would be missed

If absent just for one night

~~~

We are bound in celestial dance

You spinning like graceful ballerina

Me stuck as if in a trance

With this dusty reflective patina

~~~

You a myriad of vivid colors

Me just this grey and ashen hue

I always feel just a bit duller

Stuck here next to beautiful you

~~~

But without you where would I be

Flung off into the great void

A lonely travelling destiny

If your gravity is unemployed

~~~

Pulling on you so tentatively

You can hardly feel my hand

Save the rising of your vast sea

Wetting your dried tidal land

~~~

Oh, that I could show you my worth

And that we could be as one soon

For you will always be my earth

And I, forever, your loving moon

~~~
