A Gilded Globe
A gilded globe in the night sky:
the Moon reflects rays of sunshine.
Luna seeks out Sol's golden touch:
and thus, when He sets, She rises.
A dull orb, the Moon morphs into
a gilded globe, in the night sky.
And wolf packs with upturned jaws, howl:
greeting the Goddess of the night.
Ebony, dappled with diamonds,
weaves a starry shroud for the sun.
A gilded globe, in the night sky,
Luna outshines the twinkling stars.
And yet, the Moon will soon vanish:
a ghostly specter, faded white.
But at nightfall, She'll rise again;
a gilded globe, in the night sky.
