Blessed be the moon!

Blessed be the moon and her fair light!

She brings out our true self at plain sight

She makes the mind and the heart fight

For when she comes out, wrong becomes right

In daylight reason acts as supreme commander

At night only to the moon must all surrender

The vile become their vilest

The good become their best

It is only at night that hearts come out shining

Too bad we must spend that time sleeping

Or so they keep saying to me

But I promise I'll break free

Blessed be the moon and her fair light!

She brings out love and pain at plain sight

She shines for everyone with all her might

She shines for everyone all of the night

I'll live the night wide awake

So that when moon sends me inspiration

My hand is ready for the take

I care not for the start nor the destination

I know if she guides me I'll be fine

Even if she leads me to madness

I'll always be hers and she'll be mine

We'll be one in the darkness

Blessed be the moon and her fair light!

So great beauty, such a pure white

Blessed are we that pledge as her knights

She will take us to ever greater heights

Author's Note

I love staying up late watching at the moon.

I definitely appreciate a full moon on a clear night but I am really not a night guy, in fact, because of health reasons I sleep by myself and leave the light on all night to get a decent sleep

I'm sure you will learn to enjoy it

This is beautiful work. I love the moon. We both have many secrets. The moon is seen in most cultures to a feminine symbol, so we are both women and divine.

"Too bad we must spend that time sleeping"... As a doctor, I'll have to disagree with that. It's really good you get to keep your nights for sleep lol.
This sounds like a neat little lullaby poem. Thanks for sharing!

Haha, yes, a shame biology made it that way. Thanks for reading!

This resonates with me. I always feel like I do my best thinking, my best work at night. Shame we have to find time for sleep so much could be done in that time.
”Too bad we must spent that time sleeping
Or so they keep saying to me
But I promise I'll break free"
Great line

I'm glad you liked it! I'm already working hard to become my own boss so that I can use more of the night.

[Lale]

I'm confused, is it a personification or a metaphor?
Still a lovely poem. Thank you for sharing.

[Esteban Morfín]
