A Poets' Moon...

A Poets' Moon...


...can withstand a more varied light,

Or forlorn weather,

The coldest of winds and baleful gusts.


A lovers' Moon needs fullness,

Soft Summer night breezes,

Twinkling stars and music,

Candlelight or a gently-flickering fire.


A poets' Moon can withstand the flight of a raven across its gaze,

Or a dragon or witch or bat,

The first flurries of an encroaching blizzard,

Even the distant thunder and lightning,

Echoes of storms passed,

Anything in the Universe might appear.


A poets' moonlight will bare it naked,

Expose its core for all the night to see.
