The dying moon

The moon hangs low It's light a gray hue The lonely moon A reflection of the melancholic sky The darkness it brings Borne out of man's fear It travels alone on its journey Stormy parts and lightening thieves Each night a battle Between darkness and light And it seems like darkness has won And the light is gone For where the moon was Is now a grave of leaden clouds
