wow! this is so profound my friend! I sometimes think we destroyed the mystical quality of the moon by going there but at the same time find it exciting that we can travel into space and explore what's out there. a superb write!

well we found out that the moon wasn't made out of cheese bonita......i was quite disapointed about that. i'd like to be a moon cheese miner ha ha - paul and the mooning hound.

" the moon goddess was the first to produce marriage vows that bind ", because it has always been there since before mankind and many past religions used to swear their vows on the moon.
This is really profound, dear Paul.

indeed little star. you can only see the moon from reflected starlight. though there is always a dark side that is rarely seen....unless you search for it - neil armstrong and the hound dog from mars.

I love your new sparse style sans quotations. I feel it digs more into the essence of what you are trying to say. And what you are trying to say is....A LOT! Thanks for this poem. Gail

I used to think my moods were affected by the moon but then I realized that the moon was affected by my moods. It's been around so long and hasn't aged a bit.

there used to be a tradition of making a wish when you saw the new moon...i wonder how many of those wishes came true?

Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over.

Who’s gonna take you to the moon? Who’s gonna take you to the stars?
Who’s gonna wait around for you? Who’s gonna bring you back from Mars?
I’m gonna take you to the moon, I’m gonna show you ’round the stars but if I take you to the moon will you come back the way you are?

The moon plays a HUGE role in Maori culture - it not only inspired beautiful myths that dreams are woven around but it was and and still is an essential part of the ebb and flow of marking times for planting, for fishing etc, the most reliable calendar ever - enjoyed your write Paora.. Phoebe

people that live in big cities forget about the power of the moon. only the fish and coral and farmers seem to remember. i always think that a retreat from the natural world is a retreat from humanity - catch me a fish pheebs - paora and the natural hound.

I guess the moon was full of mystery until man landed on it.
Can you imagine what might have been if Neil Armstong had have said "Hey, there's oil here."
