Sagitarus

Setting sun, before the smoky horizon rises the sleeping moon, cool and still blue,
Against the black skies it lights up the world, in a silver coat,
Glowing it shines down upon white skin, highlighting sober, seeking eyes,
It rises high above the world, stealing a kiss from the stars, 
Telling unknown stories of the past, mystifying and sacred, 
Again it must sleep, as the world wakes without ever knowing the fates that it has witnessed,
Running into the mountain side, it vanishes, as lights first glimmers are born,
Under the sun it rests in a cradle, though it is older in knowledge,  
Sunlight brightens the world, and melts the silver sparkles of stardust
