Rainbow Moon

“What is the most beautiful thing you can think of?”
he asked. “The moon” she said and closed her eyes.

Oh moon, you make me dream of immortality,
eternal beauty and endless love.
You are the muse of not just one poet and artist,
but you have a hoard of lovers,
worshipping your otherworldly beauty.
Your soft glow feels like magic and covers
a whole planet in a blue shimmer.

Oh moon, every night I try to reach you,
gentle touch your craters with my fingertips.
I wonder if the zillions of myths about you are true.
Do I imagine, or do you keep an eye on me?
Is it you smiling at me in sleepless nights?

Oh moon, you source of wisdom,
you must have seen all secrets hidden
in the darkest dark.
Will you whisper one into my ear,
if I show my naked heart to you on a full moon night?
You have all my attention,
every time you appear in the sky.
