The moon
Oct 17, 2024
Round and bright, you are seen at night
Yellow or white, you shine in the light.
Your shape does change but you have a range
From day one to fifteen, the transition is seen.
You control the tide but sometimes you hide
Using clouds as your cover, round the corner you hover
The lovers’ friend, broken hearts you mend
You seem far yet near, so unique and queer.
Amongst the stars you reside but different is your stride
You don’t twinkle and tease, you stay stable and please
Dependable and beautiful, you are truly faithful.
When Earth asked for a boon, she got you — the Moon!
