Sun, moon and earth aligned,
Your dark becoming, much maligned
Brooding Lilith, like us all,
Your have your shadows to enthral
There are your cycles and your phases,
All aloof to earthly gazes.
Crescent moon, iridescent,
Earthshine draws your luminescence
Early rising, twilight set,
Not ready to reveal all yet
Cresting in the noonday sun,
Your lunation has just begun.
Silent moonscape, so desolate,
The lunar calendar marks your circuit
Your sunny countenance oblique,
A glimpse of light is all we seek
A peep of you in your prime,
Neomenia, it is your time.
Maiden moon, your powers grow,
And soon your face will start to show
But those of us who sing your praises,
Admire you in all your phases
Waxing lyrical, the dull tides drum,
A glimpse of beauty still to come.

Almost mystical in parts, this was truly enthralling.
What a way with the written word you have, spike.
"But those of us who sing your praises,
Admire you in all your phases
Waxing lyrical, the dull tides drum,
A glimpse of beauty still to come."
Simply captivating. An instant favourite!

| "the dull tides drum" -- I'm interpreting those words in a totally out-of-context context, more of a tribal context lol can't help it, it's a very good line. I love this poem, altho I suppose it's hard not to love anything paying tribute to something as atmospheric as the moon. |
