Thought I might start one up again... :)

A Jelly-Fish - Marianne Moore

Visible, invisible,
a fluctuating charm
an amber-tinctured amethyst
inhabits it, your arm
approaches and it opens
and it closes; you had meant
to catch it and it quivers;
you abandon your intent.

Lady Mary  11 May 2005 
The Moon?

This is a wild guess, but....The Star?

So sorry guys - I got busy and totally forgot to check here. flake!!

Lady Mary gets it right - The Moon! The poem reminds me of when the moon seems to be "following" you one minute and then the next it’s gone. Hiding behind clouds or just plain missing. And how the Jelly fish sort of resembles the moon. That we can be so drawn to the beauty and mystery of the moon but are still a little bit afraid and therefore withdraw.

that's it in the simplest. I could think a bit deeper on this one but I'm all out of deep thoughts today. :) on to you Lady Mary!
