What Goddess Holds the Moon

Reaching into the nighttime sky
Venus took the moon within her hands
And placed it gently in her bed.
She hid it there from Hebe
To keep it for herself.
But Nemesis found the glowing orb,
And just to make amends,
She took a slice and placed it back.
A message she would send.
Now we see the darkest hole
Where once the moon did shine.
And, slowly see the moonlight grow
As Nemesis decides 
to make it full for all to see
where forever it resides.
