She hangs so low for all to see-
splendid: her glory.
The mystery that she contains
only God maintains.
To look above and see her shine-
image so divine.
So how can one give her a nod
then say there's no God?

you know theres something about this write that brings a smile. so when you're feeling blue, think of a distant friend, look at the moon and smile knowing that somewhere, someone close to you, is even closer, cause they my friend, are looking at the same moon.

Mike, that's a very lovely, interesting thought!!! Next time I'm 'out there' in nature looking up at the moon... I'll be wondering... who is watching this with me?!? Cook thought! Thanks!

I remember when i was "younger", i tried to write on moon, lol, it came out not exactly as good as i wanted, but i managed to stay content anyhow !!
There is a great importance of moon in Indian culture. We though, refer him as "HE". Mother teach their kids to call Moon as "Chanda Mama" ( Chanda = Moon, in Hindi/Gujarati language... and Mama = Maternal Uncle, Mum's brother ). There are all types of mythical stories for kid's beloved Chanda Mama, and Mothers never forget to mention them.
. It has nothing to do with this poem, I just wanted to mention it.
A very profound write, I have faith in God.
take cares and have a nice time my dear friend.. just keep it up... your humble little friend..

I really liked how you gave the Moon a female personna. Since "Luna" is the name of the small planet that revolves around us...it is fitting.
The "Revealing Science of God" is often so absurdly a constant- Science itself has mostly just considered it all 'pure chance.' But every house has a builder...yet the exacting location of Sun/Moon/Earth to be so precise...is chance?
Lovely poetry and isn't she pretty???

INSPIRING!!!
This is a nicely worded piece of free form poem that delves on the need to embrace the love of God by mere observance of the cycle of nature and the acknowledgement of the fact that God reigns in the universe.
I admire the philosophy associated with existence.I appreciate the fluidity and simplicity of your expression in this poem. -

wonderful
Melissa, Indeed, The heavens declare the Glory of God, and the moon is so fair! The moon is an excellent subject for poetry. Here is a haiku I wrote some time ago about the moon:
moonbeams radiate
when the veiling cloud has passed
playful shadows dance
Keep writing your wonderful, inspirational poems. Peace unto you dear sister, Dennis

How indeed can anyone look at her and determine there is no GOD? Nicely done, and you've said it all, so no need for it to be longer. Some shorter is sweeter, this is one of those times!

Hi Melissa. Lovely write and presentation dear one. Good imagery, flow and rhyme. Very nice perspective on the moon. Well crafted and a much enjoyed read. Shelley

short but very well written, i really enjoyed reading this piece. it is pointless to write pieces that are a whole page long when you can make your point clear in 2 stanzas
