The Dawn of the Moon

cast a glance on a wounded moonbeams light,
rising above the mountains,
shining hope into the night.

escorted by a thousand stars,
it cuts its own path through,
illuminating who we are
boldly standing for its truth.

Seek the silence of the twilight
the path it leaves behind
for those who fear the night
it will lead to something kind.

We envy this valiant moon
it seems so brave and strong
yet a single burning candle
knowing its path is dark and long.

through a treacherous ocean of darkness,
through forests of clouds and fog,
it wages battle with the night
singing its age old song.

Follow the wounded moon
it guides us through the night,
on a never ending quest,
it seeks the morning light.
