Dark Picture

The picture says it all, hanging
A world so black it’s always dark
Moon’s great eclipse shadow, changing
The lighthouse fails to light embark
Making people see the shade mark
Never before has this been seen
Just like the Earth’s core simply been
Lovely night waves sway back and forth
The darkness has a quiet sheen
From lowlights to hate’s lowest worth
