LUNA THE MOON MAGIC SQUARE #369

 

I've seen men walk across your face

Stabbing you with red-white-blue

Waving on a pointed pole 

I've seen you cloud-white in a daylit blue sky

I've seen you fat and thin

I've seen your sallow skin

No matter how dark the nights

You've wrenched blood from my body

Sanity from my sometimes-struggling mind

Caressed the beach with your tides

And been my poetic muse while I cried

You are so familiar, iconic

But you always retain the magic of your name

My Moon, Luna…
