i am the moon

i am the moon
my orbit grip, the arms of will.
infinitely close, a
gray ghost of land
a pull of faith

your imprint imperfect
lingers in still dust
safe, weightless
soul glow and spectacle speculation
coated in tracks,
oh history.

chasing night
around your equator
proving everything with depth
has a dark side.

you can only see
the craters from there, unfair,
i can only see your atmosphere
from here, dear,

reach for me,
next solar eclipse
i'll let you aboard
my pull of faith.

  This is a bit out of the ordinary for you, and it's turned something quite astounding actually. It's a view point of the moon, but though some strange lens and that leaves the reader in a new awe. Most appreciated. +tpu+

  Read this twice now and really enjoyed this piece. You managed to avoid cliche and produce something brilliant and that alone is worth commending. -Carl

  I'd have never read it if you didn't whore yourself. you probably shouldn't have posted it...I'm kidding, this is beautiful. My favorite was definately the last stanza as cucucachoo said.
