"When you consider the moon as I do / Can you not feel her gentle gravity?"


Poem Artwork

Transcendental Sonnet #1382:

Consider the Moon

 

When I consider the moon and I do

It always seems to be a she to me

She is a woman surely for she wears

Ineluctable femininity

To which nothing else in the sky compares

 

Beaming bone-white and shining silver through

The night as she waxes and wanes away

To nothing only to be born anew

Each night with something different to say

She speaks to me and surely speaks to you

 

When you consider the moon as I do

Can you not feel her gentle gravity?

 

She raises me and makes me stand up straighter

That winking eye is more than just a crater!

Beauty is enwrapped around the moon. The more you look at her, the more you are lost in awe. Ah, the moon. What a wonder to behold.
Well captured, Steve.
