The Moon

I travelled through the endless night,

With the high, full moon burning bright.

The path I walked became a river,

And its’ promise made me shiver.

Beckoning me into the depths of the night

 

It was then that I felt her eyes upon me,

As I sunk on bended knee.

Like diamonds glittering in silence around,

I felt an instinct to follow in me abound.

For release at last from thee

 

Wolves and maidens danced in the trees,

Encroached on the water’s edge.

I was in, then, up to my knees,

Knowing it was my only chance.

The one way out, my final dance

 

So I surrendered to the moon and fled,

My boat untethered through water bled.

My instincts now were burning bright,

As I decided to walk in light.

To shun the darkness to which you had me led.
