As the Moon leaves the Sky

Half a Moon
Red and risen
And as we pass,
I find a reflection
And I find it go
Kissing the waters,
Kissing the mind

What of you, O forgotten Moon?
Begone, leave no fiery trail
Of passion,
Red, across the Sky
Your reflection,
Red, across the seas


You have left me afore,
To rue
And you rise again,
To leave me lonely
And cold

Blue at dawn I have been,
As the mists do clear
To reveal the Day,
That I fear will arrive


Why must I fear, O Moon, for you?
When you love me no more
Let the Day be mine,
To caress and embrace

Let me not shroud myself in mist
That you leave behind
