Orb of Night

The dark of the night sky: clear, unlimited space Lights and a bright white moon, of clouds no trace The mood suddenly changes, the lights are faded The vault of heaven is raided, the azure invaded Realization in a flash, the barren moon stands abashed Now fainthearted, lily-livered, her quiet joy is crashed Hide not your face behind clouds the color of yellow dirt I know your phases, feel your moods, I know you`re hurt Battered, barren, lonely, evanescent orb of night From your cursed dance peace you`ll never find But I`ll be your fire eater, one who devours the sun Artemis, Luna, Diana, your true name knows none
