Wondering With The Moon Poem by Magdalena Biela

Wondering With The Moon

Rating: 5.0


Flaming glowing moon, sleeplessness moon,
Overbearing, foolishness, in the heart of June
Mercilessly you torment my eyelids to falter,
I am hit by your ray like a boat by water.

Shining in the Time's eyes amused in delight,
you watch us from cradle until we depart.
Scared by you, the shy cranesastounded and shady
they thought you a tender. They thought you a Lady.


You yelled at the Night while the timid stars
Were hiding in heaven their tears and scars.
Overdone, your praisings bored you with no wit,
worn-out the Word's meaning fell in infinite.

Do you seak new flattery? New worship to earn?
Try and search on Google, time to be modern!
You will thus create a new identity
To match perfectly with your new eternity.


Dead are the lunatics who in the days of yore
at a corner of a street loved you to a roar.
By a wicked spirit in a rush consumed
They distorted your face as cheap poster doomed.


No longer a mystery, genuine, unique
You are now cloned by a world virtual and freak
Using grotesque make up, awful Photoshop
they defiled your pure Light, they disgraced your hope.


Someone in this phony, ephemeral life
knows that your forgiveness will be like a knife.
Humans of these decades are a tad rough - hewn
They screamed at you last night: "take a selfie, Moon! "

Moonlight is so mind-blowing and serene, that these feelings can be captured by taking a selfie, when the moon is showing its full face. Fabulous imagery, nicely penned! 10+++

The Moon, so loved and sang by Poets and the romantics became nowadays a reason for photoshop competition, a subject of meaningless art-kitsch-photos and paintings...A bitter taste in my soul...I a and always have been a Romantic through and through...since the internet, the Moon lost its mystery...

Glowing moon gives flame of calmness. No longer moon is a mystery rather this is genuine, unique. With advancement of technology taking a selfie with full moon is interesting. Wonderful sharing is done here....10
