The Moon 2 Poem by Phil Soar

When the moon inflicts it's influence on me
Even after years of handling the ups and downs of emotions
It still catches me and offers me insight into my very soul

To cope I sometimes retreat into my shell
Seeking solace where I know I am safe
Until the first quarter sets my mood free

For a short while I look forward to a Full moon
Knowing it will change the mood, swap the sullenness for a grin
And set me on a path to places I long to be

The moon is my ruler
I bow to it's energy
