To the Pink Moon

Prompt:
Today's a full moon is called the Pink Moon. While it won't appear pink, this full moon holds a special distinction — it's the smallest full moon of the year, also known as a "micromoon". This is because April's full moon occurs when the moon is farthest from Earth in its orbit (known as apogee), making it appear slightly smaller and dimmer than usual, though the difference may be hard to spot with the naked eye.

To the Pink Moon

You rose, steeped in gloom, today,
like a whisper shooing the stars away

in a sky that begs for grandeur loud
you drifted into its boastful crowd

your face, gentle, light pink and all
as if a hush, but not a trumpet call

now, you pull at my heart with silver beams
and soft light and longing, as it seems

still, from so far away, you turn the tide
and float over us in constant pride

from your distant path, with a pale plea
even dimmed and shy, you still move me.
