Moon Baby

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
