If only I could be More like the moon The world has always wanted me To be like the sun To have my intense and vivid orange light Always so bright Blinding to the eye Bold and direct That burn Not easy to forget I want to be like the moon That white illuminating sight Soft and subtle to the eye Still, silent, and shy As it quietly arises Into the dark night sky Not commanded To be rough and tough on the skin The moon is not demanded To be anything but its pearlescent, gentle dim We gaze at the moon With its highlighting bloom We do not expect it to be Anything but The subtle sound of the great white pearl That sits, and swirls As it silently dances its way Around the world And is never the same In two single nights We accept it's not one To be tame We do not hide From its gentle, subtle sight We respect it Rather than expect it To be anything but Its soft, shy and subtle nature So graceful, it seems We're grateful it's the last thing we see As we swiftly drift Into our dreams If only I could be More like the moon. —— All writing and film is my own.
