The Nameless Moon

https://futurism.com/most-spectacular-images-from-space

Luna is not your name
it is only the translation of "Moon" in Latin

Nameless Moon so wise to never turn your cold black
backside to the envious Earth

Selena is not your name
it is only the translation of in Greek

Nameless Moon where there is no man to ride you
plain or blue, Red or white , full or new,

only your shining face to beguile us.

Nameless Moon
Midnight Seductress, temptress of all things nocturnal
hidden by your mystery, nameless like the Galaxy

Black as the Earth without the sun to blind you.

Your wide eyed beauty; only a refection
where two heavenly bodies would collide,
pulling tide.

Would we survive without you?

Moon, "The Moon" is your name.

You need no other, but just maybe

we need you.

[Corset]

Thank you Neville, she is a beauty and yet as bare and plain as a rock , a nameless marvel.

[Neville]

my pleasure entirely....

[Mitchell J.U.]

I really enjoyed reading this. We would be lost without our guardian sister out there.

[Corset]

Yes, what would the Sky be without her constant presence to illuminate our nights

[John the Baptist]

The poet seems to be making a contrast between the moon and the earth in this one, with the moon coming out ahead. The earth is depicted as envious of the shining orb, which is seen as mysterious, seductive and not blinded by the sun, as is the earth. Furthermore, the moon is wise not to turn its back to the earth, as though the earth might somehow try to wrong it. And yet there is the suggestion the earth is more in need of the moon than vice versa. The general sense is that the moon is like a goddess, untouched by the ills of this planet. An interesting view, if I am taking it correctly. If not, I still got a lot out of the beautiful
imagery.

The Earth IS envious, the Moon has materials and assets that Nasa and big wigs intend to commercialize upon in the future, they want to build a "gateway" to the moon, a space Tram and strip her of precious metals and such. Thank you for stopping in :D and for your lovely comments.

His name is Lumen.
Niece carries along the family twist.

[Corset]

Ah, the beauty of the young impressionable mind.

The moon is so beautiful and no one ever bothered to name her something nice.

[Coyote Poetry]

You are welcome dear Corset.

[Ken Simm.]

Excellent piece my friend. Many wonderful bits that I feel when contemplating myself. Although I don't write them as well.

[Corset]

oh now i feel like you are placating me, you write circles around my feeble attempts, but i do so adore when when tell me tiny white fibs :D Thank you !!

[Ken Simm.]

I am not fibbing and I've stamped my foot to prove it.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

she doesn't need a name, but we need her...i like this a lot...it's like special people who give without asking for in return...they just show love...which lights up others' lives...and they don't need to be singled out or praised for doing that...it's just love for the sake of love.
