Talking to The Moon

It’s a full moon, a supermoon, and finally a blue moon, also known as super blue moon.

A supermoon occurs when the full moon coincides with its closest approach to Earth during its elliptical orbit, making it appear larger and more radiant in the sky. On the other hand, a blue moon isn’t about color but rather the rare event when two full moons grace a single month due to the Moon’s slightly shorter cycle than the standard calendar month. This particular lunar occurrence holds both super and blue moon distinctions, where the Moon won’t be notably bigger but will shine with an added brilliance- NASA

I would really appreciate it if you could please stay on the page 
for at least 30 seconds to help me support my work as per Medium's new changes.

tonight
the super blue moon graces the sky
with its luminous presence
a solitary wanderer
in the realm of stars

beneath this tranquil
shroud of night
i find solace
the moon
a silent companion
keeps watch over me
