Silvery white light brightens
Blackness below
You see all
You know all

Craters cover your surface
And yet
You have no flaws
You are beautiful

The tide ebbs when you are far
And when you are close,
Waves the size of mountains pass
Leaving destruction, broken homes.

You own scrapes and scars
And yet
You have no flaws
You are beautiful

Pyramids were built in your honor
Rituals performed for you
With age the crumble
As do you

Your glittery soft surface, easily damaged
And yet
You have no flaws
You are beautiful

It can be about whatever you interpret but for me it is about the moon :)

&quot;I say what I want to say and do what I want to do. There&#039;s no in between. People will either love you for it or hate you for it. &quot;
