The moon is misted with rain,
And moon-tears dribble and drain
The length of the sky.  They fall
Into the Big Dipper, that catches them each and all.

to duplicate a length of time
that we decided existed
Just take a sec

During the time of need, she took a knee

To find munchy leaves to chew
Of it's length I'm not even half!

Aspect: Aurora

Dawn is upraised
Fierce in disguise--
Then you are dazed
By her rising at length—

Once you have gazed
Straight in her eyes,
Never be fazed 
By her beauty and strength.
