Cycle 1

 

A black sky above

Soft light illuminates all

Watch the world below

 

Darkness spreads comfort

A blanket for them to rest

Weary eyes close, dream

 

The night, tranquil time

A peace unseen in sunlight

Plays out quiet song

 

Cycle 2

 

Bright are moon and stars

Guides in the dangerous world

Steady in death’s grasp

 

Soft and gentle light

Soften the world's sharp edges

Stars and moon blur all

 

In black tapestry

Silver and gold thread shine out

Capture moon and stars

 

Cycle 3

 

Silver moon wanes now

Toward the new moon’s birthing

The moon waxes, bright

 

Night of clouds, the moon

Pierces through its dark cover

To light a new world

 

Moon of silver shine

In shadowed places forlorn

Hope is lit again
