Moonrise

Moonrise As the light over the ocean fades to gray The twilight creeps from devil’s clutch to permeate the sky A shrouded specter of the shadowlands with icy orb in hand Demands the sacrifice of sunlight, all the remnants of the day Now muted memories as starry light appears within the black Yet they’re just pinpricks in a Void that holds the key to all we lack In fact the light we see is from a source already passed and gone Already born and lived and died Already finished with it’s song But I sing along, sing a testament to what has come before The evolution of humanity The futility of our wars The depth of our compassion To the frailty of belief I sing for wolves who hunt alone Yet still I sing for all the sheep I sing for all the life that’s come before And all that’s yet to be I sing for every man and woman hoping one day they’ll be free I sing a song to raise the dead I sing a song meant to conceive I sing this for those who horde it all And this for all the thieves Then I go silent As all existance carries on the tune The Void begins to vibrate, the crecendo of the moon O’er the horizon lights the shadowed sky, a climax, a release And in that simple moment I find Peace
