Luna’s a Girl’s Girl

Sol’s the hot shot (pun intended)

But she’s got beauty, understated

Soft and warm and dark and deep

Looking down with syncopated 

Beams of dancing light a-twinkle

Glowing, muted, saturated. 


She’s a lovely little lady 

Hides her faces as she pleases

Deals in blood and wrath and then

As the sun, his burning breezes 

Gasped into the daylight fading

She the gloaming moment seizes. 


Her domain of peace and beauty

Fills with female aura, wholly

She’s a girl’s girl, Luna, warrior

Takes the night and makes it holy

Calls repose of women sacred

Lifts the shepherdesses lowly


Grants a glowing crown of starlight

Kisses eyes closed to the toiling

As bodies rest, but not completely,

Always hearing and uncoiling

Infant cries throughout the night

Youth and beauty long despoiling


Luna etches lines of age 

And care on women syncopated

With her phases, working night 

And working day as she, fixated;

We together with the moon

Against a Sun who’s never sated,

Never to her obligated,

Ever to her consecrated.
