as I stand here and gaze
into the heavens
this dark, somber inky sky
oh yes . . .
I see you my love
my bright, shining Gibbous Moon
the sinister dark cloud
has moved on into the night
allowing my moon to appear
and I am one the heavens
my spirituality has given me peace
my heavenly lover
for we are as one
whether you are a piecemeal Crescent Moon
timidly showing
tantalizing parts of you
we may only guess
at what is hidden
in the darkness which is you
its as if you are having wicked fun
at my expense
reflection gives me the taste of you

Now I know what the dogs are singing when they howl at the moon! I liked this ode to the moon.

a fine 'write' for all us "moon-atics" out here! (my 'personal favorite' is that narrow crescent carving out its slice of star-field splendor) ...

Thanks Bruce, I'm enamored by all phases the moon gives us.
