Eaths Moon Poem by Frederick Nellist

An exhausted moon looking so tired and pale
What secrets concealed behind a misty veil?
You don't turn a cheek moving east to west
The earth's hungry embrace allows you no rest.

How came you there moon in the first place?
For millions of years you have ran your race
There are times the suns reflection you hide
Your gentle breath still plays with our tide.

There is gladness in waxing, sadness in wane
A short lived sensation you come back again
There is a magic in your beams as they dance
Giving many young lovers a time for romance.

A magnificent jewel for the crown of a King
Inspiration for poems and love songs to sing
You are a pendent, earth's gravity your chain
That adorns the neck of our earthly domain.
