A Gentle Moon

Softly shone the autumns moon                            
Led by transition and folly,
Held in the solitude is night’s existence                                     
Shielded by those instilled
Beneath the ray from a gentle moon 

For all is past as summer fled  
To the fall of winters passage; 
Only then shall dusk bestow itself 
Into the makeup of the night 
Beneath rays from a gentle moon

Wait long for time in weary sunder  
Is a structure in itself!                                                                                                                                          
And morality left to the spirit of life 
Is lost and gone forever 
Beneath our gentle moon
