Moon Poems

DEFETED BY LOVE

The sky was lit

by the splendor of the moon

So powerful

I fell to the ground

Your love

has made me sure

I am ready to forsake

this worldly life

and surrender to the magnificience

of your being

-Rumi

MOON'S ENDING

Moon, worn thin to the width of a quill,

In the dawn clouds flying,

How good to go, light into light, and still

Giving light, dying

-Sara Teasdale

NEW MOON

The new moon, of no importance

lingers behind as the yellow sun glares,

and is gone beyond the sea's edge;

earth smokes blue;

the new moon, in cool height above the blushes,

brings a fresh fragrance of heaven to our senses.

-D.H. Lawrence
