Bloody Moon

There is a bloody moon 
hanging above the earth tonight
It's a ball of fire
yet so cold it seems

There is a bloody moon
so dim but strives
to illuminate the earth

There is a bloody moon tonight
It's a beautiful sign
of life and death
a conflict on the sky
of darkness and light

There is a bloody moon
hanging above the earth tonight...

*Composed upon a lunar eclipse on 27 July 2018
