It is weaving a tale,

With a crown on its head,

Bent over a yarn,

Weaving a tale that brings the Earth closer to it

Letting the Moon Beings know the Earth Dwellers, a little better,

And, perhaps, for us to feel closer to their existence.

The pockmarked grey at its centre,

Seeking the similarities between the two,

Beings across the universe

Are closer, for the words, the music and the pull.

Whether it is gravity, empathy or tales of yore.

The pull gets stronger, the more the Moon looks like our own.

It dazzles the path for a lovers’ stroll on a full moon night,

Sprinkles silver light above the water,

Transforms the night with its movements,

Constantly maintaining that connection,

Diminishes itself, recedes to thin crescents, for its rebirth, now and then.

If you look closely at the Full Moon,

Standing amidst the silent darkness,

You will be able to see the bent-over, crown-wearing figure

Wondering when all Earth Dwellers will seek its secrets,

its language and its core.

The Moon is fascinated; it is recording the time spent

It is yearning for the connection to continue

It is weaving a tale.
