Man of Moonlight: A Progressive Ode

Man of moonlight, illuminate me

The lesser of two great lights you cannot be

Your guiding beam tempers darkness where the eye cannot see

Man of moonlight, wherever you rise, never cease to consider me…

The greater light burns fiercely throughout the day, even penetrating human skin

While your calming ray stands guard over the night beckoning peace unto all men

The subtle shine, which you exude, captures the collective agreement of all

Never brazen but always present, you unwaveringly rise to a divine call

You have eight distinguishing phases which renders you starkly unique

The greatest light you are, especially in your fullness, showcases your power at its peak

Man of moonlight, illuminate me

The lesser of two great lights you cannot be

I will look to you at the evening tide, awaiting your soft, blue hue

Trusting your light to appear where you’ll announce the dawn, presenting itself anew
