Ode to The Moon

You give me a good reason to pause

Opalesque light feature

All hailed by the night creature

Illuminating my fine points and flaws

Internal

Nocturnal

Secrets kept in my journal

A wordsmith lacking a round of applause

You give me a good reason to gaze

Precious night diamond

Set on a sky island

I set sail to explore each lunar phase

New, First, Full, and Last

Future, present, to distant past

Cycles, circles, my everlast

Dancing in dreams, under stars, and your rays

You give me a good reason to reflect

Mistakes and convictions

Retakes and addictions

With your light source, I aim to project

No more round-rewound

On the Merry go round

I step off the self-driven ride of the inept

You give me a good reason to shine

A nightly occurrence

Meeting many an inference

I mold ordinary into extraordinary per the sign

Folklore, traditions

Magical superstitions

I tweak new renditions

With my pen in my hand, I wave words into worlds that are mine
