The Moon Sings

The moon sings
A clear, melodious voice
Filling the niches of silence
Exposing the mist of darkness

The moon sings
Its song, an escort to my path
Erasing unholy thoughts from my mind
Decapitating the evil within

The moon sings
Its song, a constant reminder
Of hope, of a future bright
Of hope

The moon sings...
