Ode to the Moon
Dear moon,
were you once a lover?
Did you fall for the boldness and radiance of the sun?
Don’t tell me you did not.
I see how you still linger when he is around.
He pulls everything towards him, and his warmth envelops you.
Do you ever feel cold in the night sky?
Moon, are you lonely, even as you comfort others in their loneliness?
Perhaps your children...
