To the Moon
My love for you
Inspired by the way you leave space for others to shine
How you remain bravely humble, and still, so stunningly bright
* A selflessness like yours,
I have yet to find *
You are strong enough to command the oceans to meet your needs
Crashing amongst the shore
Otherwise defiant waves behave as you please
And in the event that you're eclipsed by Earth's shadow,
You find the spotlight
Lovingly sharing with me your precious, rose-tinted glow
To present such a freckled surface as proudly as you do
Vulnerability so unwavering
It would be a shame to be anything but myself with you
And during the nights when you're not around,
The world is dark and lonely
But l will wait for you to reclaim your place
* I am hoping you make it back, safe and sound *
In the meantime,
Here is my ode to you
A sort-of love letter to the moon

Thank you! I do like to think that some of this poem's parts could just as easily be dedicated to a person. Whatever feels best to the reader. I enjoyed personifying the moon a bit, and leaving it slightly open in that way. 💕

Dear APD,
I truly enjoyed your lovely poem. It contained, for me, all the elements of beauty, joy, appreciation and love. This was a joy to read and very up-lifting. H🌷

This is my nice surprise for today. So gentle in its nature, yet very effective. It's like a
"By the way, I love you" for no reason other than you want to let them (the moon) know that they matter to you.
What a truly wonderful, comforting write.

And that's how I felt writing it!
I definitely think this write serves to bridge the gap between myself and the things I long for. It's wanting something or someone so much that you can't help but express how they make you feel. In this case, my admiration is for the moon and stars; however, some parts of this could just as easily be applied to a person. Honestly, I'm really grateful that I could share these feelings with others, and know that it instills comfort in them, too.
Thanks, Styxian!

Obviously I see the moon in this as being symbolic to a person you care about.
And, if your write is any indication of how you treat such a person, then they are fortunate to have you in their life. Because you have a great sense of value.
