She is the Moon

She is the mistress of the night
She grants the gift of tenuous sight
Bound by gravity and light
She is companion, to hunter and prey alike.

She only shows her most beautiful side
Her dark side is turned away, always hidden
She is ruler of the tide
Life flows to her rhythm.

She is sister to the Sun
She bathes in her glow
Reflecting her light, when night has come
To comfort the Earth below.

She dances with planets and stars in the sky
All the heavens are her ballroom
She makes wolves cray
She is the Moon.
