Moon Rise

MOON RISE 🌙 

In the inky twilight
Of no mans land 

Beneath sullen trees
With lengthening boughs 

Between the descending of the sun
And the rising of the night 

My namesake beat a retreat 
Whilst I, I crept out 

Self pity was ever my shroud
And the thought of death, my relief 

But all was not lost
Whilst I lay beneath those circling trees

For the Evening Star
Woke me from my reverie 

Piercing bright 
Later dimmed by the near moon

Which rose on its side 
Splendidly full

The moon and its glitter
Rolled the World in Silver

Moon rise 
More wondrous than any snow fall

I stepped out from that shade
Stood proud 

Whilst she lay a crown
Upon my head

Who was he that lay sullen?
Well he was gone
