A Moon’s Tale

The sky is void of stars tonight
Feathery clouds paint the sea
With a darken gray above
Casting a rather somber tone
For no light is brilliantly shown

The moon is tucked away
Quietly hiding from my sight
Maybe she is deeply sleeping
Resting her all knowing eyes
For tonight she shall not rise

Perhaps she is meeting the sun
As clouds veil their encounter
Shielding the world from seeing
Their passionate love that burns bright
As they embrace at midnight

Luna is most likely weeping
Quietly behind the shroud
Teardrops sliding down her cheek
Sadness falling from her heart
Their love doomed from the start

She needs a night locked away
To gather her jumbled heart
Pulling pieces back in place
Each fragment a soulful shard
The act becoming hard

As the heavy clouds drift on by
A sliver remains of Luna
But her crescent shimmers light
To illuminate the dark night
As the world below sleeps tight

Beautiful poetry. Imaginative and creative in its content. I enjoyed the imagery you painted with your words. The moon and her moods is fascinating to look at. I have gazed into the night sky for as long as I can remember. You told a story here PB.

I’m glad you enjoy the story of the moon and all her moods

A neat idea - to imagine the moon weeping to behold the doomed love below. Moonlight is associated with romantic trysts and the soft light enhances the pleasure o naked lovers... but in the night of clouds, the embrace is 'hard' for love has departed from the last act of the show.

Being a lover of the moon this idea came about and as I wrote each stanza it took shape into this tale.

This is yet another nicely done
there is something magic about the moon, seemingly more personal than the sun
who cannot enjoy a quiet moonlit night background by a zillion stars

I’m a lover of the night time hours with all the magic and mysteries that is shown in the onyx sky.

"Perhaps she is meeting the sun

As they embrace at midnight"
