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
