For I Am the Moon

For half of me is light

Perception always changing

For half of me is dark

Truth remains the same

Wax and wane though I might

I remain seated above

Always watching

Existing on another plane

Some pay me no notice

And some gaze at me in wonder

Still others study my patterns and movement

But only a few have ever touched my soil

Shrouded in darkness

I reflect the light bestowed upon me

My beauty lies in my mystery

And so I slowly turn away

There are many days

I dream of crashing to Earth

To reside among the humans

But it would destroy us all

Instead I befriend the stars

Other lost souls

Floating in the void

All light years apart

But I have resigned myself

No, I am contented

To occupy my own gravity

For I am The Moon.
