What a luminescent rock the moon is,
although it receives its light from the sun
It makes the night much more than bearable
and fills our thoughts with romantic notions.
It’s pocked with many gigantic craters
from impacts with celestial objects.
It makes people dream of itself at night
and we all wish there were more to the moon.
Such as great magical powers bestowed
to enchant the lovers that we long for
or the power to fly out of our minds
and gently caress its crater-pocked face.
