I once came upon a moon in dark outer space
It glowed as vibrant as rainbow jewels cut
But the bright light could not hide a moon's disgrace
The bulkiness of craters that jut
Like speared bone and overgrown needled thorn
Wild rocks scattered across its surface
And great folds marked where nature's time had torn
I know that beauty is not a moon's purpose
But that moon was more beautiful than any I'd seen before
