The moon has no words

The moon has no words

No mouth

For me

To put them into

What would it say

Hanging low

In the celestial

Inanimate

Lacking the power

To give life

Or take it away

We give it meaning

Use its elegance

Against it

When it turns about

Without fuss

Making little difference

Beyond the tides

A stable rotation

Wildlife navigation

And

Romantic interludes

Dance with me

Bathe in its beauty

Watch it burn brightly

Just for the moment

You believe

In magic

Moonlight and shadow
