Hey Moon

by Lady Nik   Oct 26, 2010


You're always up there
with your pale face shining bright...
What are you thinking
as we watch you glow?
What are your desires
as you watch us grow old?

I gave you someone
special that I trust my
soul to. I gave you the love
of my existence and I hope
you keep shining for him.

No one ever asks
what is it that you seek...
what it is that makes you
so bright from such an
unattainable distance. If
I close my eyes I can hold you
If I stop breathing I can see
him.

So many dreams come true when
we believe in you. So many
miracles. So many tragedies.
Well I believe in the aura that is
you. I believe--

Hey moon
I believe....

    This deserves more than a nomination, and if I could I would with high pleasure in reading this. It was completely unique, the first few lines grabbed me and the thought did enter me. We never ask the moon how it shines from afar and what it desires. Absolutely heart-warming and imaginative, it brought a grand smile to my face. Please keep writing and God bless you always.

    Lovely poem - I really enjoyed it.

    I found the 3rd stanza a little difficult in places:
    - Should there be a comma after "No one ever asks" otherwise I found myself expecting the 2nd line to read "what it is that you seek".
    - If the second line is a question, maybe it needs a question mark at the end.
    - "an unattainable distance" also felt difficult to read (maybe deliberate though!). If not, could the "an" be removed?

    One spelling issue - I believe the second line should be "shining bright"

    What I think would have also been interesting to explore in the poem is how the moon waxes/wanes and rises/falls and how that also makes you feel.

    Hope you don't mind my suggestions - I'm not an expert so if you don't agree with them you are probably right :)

    As has been noted, the personification of our closest heavenly body reflects much light on the tides of the emotion expressed so naturally in this poem
