Some say the moon's an angel
on wings of tattered clouds.
Some say she's just a speck of dust
within a blackened shroud.

Some say the moon's a jewel
for lovers in the night.
Some say she's just a cursed wench,
A lunatic's delight.

To some she is a beacon
that helps them find their love.
To some she's just a spying glass
for aliens from above.

And some think of her as a friend
who warms their lonely souls.
And others on a cold dank night
blame her for all their woes.

But while I watch her closely
as she sails across the sky,
the moon's the glow I long to see
within your loving eyes.

Oh boy
PackRat Mike
You hung the moon
on new-imaged height
Took hold of my heart
and spun it - just right
around the moon in
circled rhyming

Mike, this IS a beauty! I see the moon as all these things, but your summation defined the longing I feel perfectly.

Beautiful...you make me see the moon in different ways now! ...I guess the moon means different things to different people depending on the person and situation...nicely described.

Beautiful, yes, beautiful. Yet, in reality the moon does not shine but reflects. In my thinking, for you it reflects brilliant, exciting light that illumines a wonderful love. Enjoyed your poem!
