In the Day He Shows His Face
The moon is determined
Shining above for the world to see
Showing his face in the day
Where he is least welcome
The moon is determened
He smiles broadly in the light of his love
Basking in her glow
He chaces her day after day
The moon is determined
He continuously persists
Yet while she gives her light
She shall never follow him into the night
The moon is determined
Yet he is not indestructable
When he misses the sun in his dark home
The love disapears and his face is cast away
The moon is determined
Though cratered by his past regections
He tries day after day
Just to se the sun
The moon is determined
But he is also trapped
In an endless cycle
Until the day the crow carries him away
Chasing but never chased
