Luna’s Reign

                                                  Night of the shadow

                                                         Shade of the moon

                                                  Horse paled by darkness

                                                         Gallops swiftly on

                                                  Sounds smoothed by silence

                                                         As edges of stone

                                                  Smoothed by the water

                                                         Then swiftly flows on

                                                  So time’s rein darkens shadows

                                                         Softly they fall

                                                  As rain spills to madness

                                                         Luna’s reign

                                                               has begun.
