Lunar Amibivalence
   I believe the moon to be extraordinary
  Far better than the sun
  If they were to truly battle
  I believe she would have won
  Because the night is never wholly dark
  Not at all with her glow
  No matter a man’s flame, no matter his spark
  Her light never ceased to grow
  The wonders she begets are inexplicable
  As the wonders of all of life
  With a glance at her and she is able
  To release us from all our strife
  When clouds die and encase the ground
  And we live in the story of ice and snow
  The snow a mirror and looking-glass surrounds
  And reflects this queen’s mighty glow
  When the sand loses its power over my eyes
  And the darkness is not at all dark
  Her gentle presence makes me powerless to rise
  And enchants me with a fantastical lark
  
  I believe the moon to be fearful
  It is odd, I know indeed
  How I see a demon in a creature this beautiful
  And my heart craves the sensation to bleed
  When she is crescent I feel calm
  When full, I am stiff
  The whole sensation yearns qualms
  About anything that has begged guilt
  Her eyes are almost countless
  And I feel they stare into my soul
  Examining my moments of distress
  First freezing then hot as coal
  When a glance and seen through my window
  And it is colored and clouded as well
  Shivers sliver throughout me and I know
  That soon some darkness will befell
  At first I feel uncontrollable excitement
  Ephemeral and evaporates into fear
  To see such power permeant
  And to God’s power she is not at all near!

I love the moon and its enchanting beauty though at times it strikes fear in me as soon as my eyes lie upon it.
