The Moon.
The beautiful, seductive, mysterious Moon.
What do you conceal?
Who do you hide?
Each phase that you show,
You bring beginnings and gifts;
You bring curses and endings;
What magic do you keep?
Do full moons really make us crazy?
Are you what brings fertility?
What gave you your scars?
Are you really made of cheese?
Is it a rabbit? Is it a fox?
Is there a man with his dog?
Are you home to Chang'e?
Does Alkha really feed on you?
I look up to the night sky and wonder,
Do my questions really have answers?
I gaze fondly at the Moon.
The ever-changing, illuminated, precious Moon.
