The moon by Josie Di Sciascio-Andrews
I am the moon
round
distant
cold light
reflecting the sun’s warmth
back to a blue planet
a lover’s smile
forever light years away
black space
gravity pulling
tidal waves of emotion
forever love
on shores of childhood dreams.
I am the moon
pale maiden in the morning sky
large orange crone at dusk.
Alone
I ignite the dark
for moonlight kisses.
