The moon has always facinated me, which prompts this poem.

Night Time Show

Are we going to let the strands brush over our moon?

Now the wind whisked it, with the clouds it is strewn.

Darkness billows the vacant sky so we see no more

Not unlike the window, concealed behind a closed and bolted door.

Waiting for change is evident, so once again we can see

That mesmerizing sphere that seems to always capture me.

Silence is present with no words being said in space

Not only do I wait, but looking up with no disgrace.

So gently, is the moon, once again revealed to peer

Presenting with its look of precious comforting cashmere.

    Good poem. I’ll be glad when NASA stops crashing things into the moon. They’re gonna knock that thing loose.

    I was struck by how amazing this internet technology is, that we are gathered here in cyberspace from all over this planet,(I’m in Canada) and we can all share our descriptions of the same moon. Wow!
