The Stars May Be Beautiful (Ode to the moon)

The stars may be beautiful

Bringing hope and freshing start.

They may bring gladness

To a sad and laden heart.

 

But even the stars

With their beauty shining bright,

Cannot compare to your elegance

On a dark, stormy night.

 

You command the wind and sea,

Casting your power through raging tides.

The surge runs through you, trembling with release

So even the mountain trembles and abides.

 

Your magnificence lies in shadows,

Waiting for the moment right

When all the world can look upon you

And see your enchanting light.
