My Moon

Bella Kiessel

You are My Moon,

With your many flaws,

Craters and bumps,

Acne and scars.

When turned away,

From the cast of light,

Darkness welcomed,

Unseen by all.

When night arrives,

Your time has begun,

Flaws are striking,

And watched with awe.

How your faults gleam,

Radiant are you,

Your brightness blinds,

As does the Moon’s.
