A woman once
Wished on star
From lands afar
"Please oh please
Bright twinkling light
Give me a child tonight"
And the woman prayed
Every night for years
Her plea fell on deaf ears
Until a goddess
Who made me swoon
Heard her tune;
The Moon
Begging she had heard
The mother of Earth
The call answered
With a "birth"
Transcending her planet
Coming to ours
In a pomegranate
Inside the botanic
Did she travel
Until cloth unravel
Child Delivered
To dainty hands
Such divine plans
Celestial now infant
Baby and parent
Woman loves ancient
