Ode to My Moon
Inspiration of the Rocket Man, 
 Goal of the encouraged, 
 Beauty of the psychic, 
 Sign of the night. 
 La lune, 
 La luna, 
 The moon. 
 
 Full as it lives 
 Up in the shadowy atmosphere. 
 Bright as it reflects 
 The glossy sun that disappeared a while before. 
 Gentle as it watches 
 The nightlife buzzing. 
 Soft as its light touches 
 The silky skin of the peaceful. 
 Graceful as it slowly glides 
 Through the twilight sky. 
 
 As it rests 
 Adjacent to the mountain, 
 The man seems to gape 
 At the scene below. 
 Any human would dream 
 Of the intense stare he offers. 
 
 It reminds me of Shakespeare, 
 Appearing to act out his masterminded play 
 Across the sky. 
 But while rhapsodizing 
 Its visions, 
 Its experiences, 
 Its memories, 
 It forgets about 
 One minor detail, 
 One small element 
 Its home, 
 The Earth. 
 
 Because of this, 
 It is a bee. 
 Bees are not supposed to fly. 
 The aerodynamics of the wing 
 Does not allow the busy creature 
 To soar above the flowers like angels. 
 Amazingly, it flies anyway. 
 It do not know why they fly 
 Or why they can't, 
 Nevertheless it escalates 
 Into the blue, 
 Unconsciously.
