Absolutely loved it. As Jesus Is My Savior also and there's a strong Fellowship here. Have you read Roy Owens work?

I have not read Roy Owen's work. I paused here to check it out. I do like his stuff. I shall revisit it. I'm pleased that you appreciated this poem and noticed you bookmarked it. I am honored.
I also wrote another lovely on called O Little Bird:
O Little Bird, teach me to pray
O Little Bird, show me your way
Let me hear your voice above the sound
Of the noise that is around
Noise that's not part of you or your kin
O Little Bird, let me in
We are made of stardust, both you and I
I, in Mother Earth
You, in Father Sky
I wish us to be close, not far apart
O Little Bird, open up your heart
O Little Bird, let me in
O Little Bird, I am your kin

Comment from Beck Fenton
The more times I read this wonderful poem the more I can take away from it and ponder. I have been enamored by the moon's feminine power for many decades. The Rhythm is good and the rhyming is not constrained. Good job!

Thank you for your inspired review. I wrote this about 20 years ago as a "chantish" song.( little redundant terms) I'm glad it keeps gifting you.

Hello Liz,
I so appreciate the epiphany quality of your poem. You are praising Mother Moon, yet realizing that a high power guides her beauty and brightness. A wonderful sentiment and message to be found in your well-crafted verse. I appreciated your verse even more when I read it aloud.
Thank you for sharing!

Don't you just love reading writings aloud. It's the only way to read it for me. Even some parts of prose. Thank you for taking the time to honor mine with reading it aloud. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I normally read everything aloud!
So enjoyable!
My pleasure!

Hello, :)
I thought this was a Native American poem, but then I saw the Christian aspect. Or did you want to blend those two?
Good luck in the contest.

I have some of the Native American spirituality in my soul too. So yes I did want to combine them.

Cool! You did well.

Exceptional, your play on words in lines 15 and 16, was what I felt to be the best lines. The theme is inspiring without being preachy. It has a universal appeal. Your rhyme is perfect. The picture compliments your work. Great job.

Thank you for the 6th star, to begin with. I am honored. I'm glad you saw the gentleness rather than preachy aspect. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Comment from Waishali Deshmukh
This is a simple, well written and uplifting poem. The colors you chose also go well with the theme. Believing in the light coming from Him makes our life run smoother. Great message.

I love this! A prayer to the moon, Beautiful. The moon has always been my symbol of Divinity or God. The light that shines in the darkness and is present whether you can see it or not.

That concept that the moon & God are there even if we can see them remind me of a line in the book A Prayer for Owen Meany. He compared the statue in the front of the school with that same concept. You can't see it yet you believe it is there. I'm so glad you enjoyed it so much.

In Indian movies, the moon is often used in lyrics/songs comparing its beauty to the heroine; your inspiration of using the moon in the spiritual sense is unique and quite beautiful; excellent rhymes and superb flow; thanks for the treat and good luck!

Comment from tfawcus
There is no wonder that the moon provides such inspiration to poets; we can hardly forbear to sink into reverie and reflection when we focus on its mystical atmosphere and light. No wonder, too, that the ancients thought of it as a goddess in their culture, and that it has inspired you to reflect upon your own religious beliefs. Moments of self-absorption such as this can often lead to a reassessment of one's life and sometimes to a change of direction. It is a good topic for the contest and I hope that your poem does well.
