Moon Woman

In all of her roundness

and fullness,

she waxes and wanes –

powerful permanence

orbiting you,

drawing you in

with her gravitational pull,

forcing the tides,

the gaze of your eyes

to yield to the forces

beyond you.

Through cycles

and phases,

fazing the gazers,

she remains loyal,

synchronous

with Earth,

for dark though she is,

there’s a light

that she gives

each time

her newness

grows full.
