The Silver Moon

The Silver Moon

 

Hanging low,

Suspended between heaven and earth,

The silver moon longs to bestow

The power of its worth.

 

Blinking its eye,

It looks down at all it wants.

It looks up in the sky

From whence it dawns.

 

Heavy with energy,

The silver moon knows its weight.

Searching for peace

In its late state.

 

Though its form sags

Beneath a star-lit sky,

The silver moon dares to ask,

“When will I shine?”

 

Beholding all the wonder,

How the stars twinkle,

How the clouds thunder,

How the colors in a sunset sky sprinkle.

 

Surveying all the beauty,

It realized its truth.

For it was its glow which caused all to see

Beneath the silver moon.

I sang 'Silvery Moon' as a kid in a minstrels troupe. This took me right back. As an aside, I have been watching a crazy conspiracy theory vid claiming the moon to be hollow - an abandoned space ship no less, lol.
Man, the interweb is nutz,lol
Great write Melinda. Awesome graphic.
