Descending into darkness is easy; its gates stand open wide. But ascending back to light, that's the true challenge.

[timelesspoet]

Moonlit

As Sun bids Moon goodnight, Her luminous eyes open, Moon begins her watch over her children.

Night crawlers stealth across forest floors As moonlit birds begin their hunt Spiders creep along spindled webs

Moon watches her hunters But also Sun's children Those who shelter the night's cruelty

Flowers weep until next light's breath Critters hide in their burrows Man cowers in their simulated luminescence

Most of all Moon watches her first born She gazes as they keep the family bonds she taught She listens to their calls of love, howling against the wind

Moon watches, the guardian of dreams, that all her children hold, Moon ferries them all into Sun's new light.
