Analysis of The Light of Darkness
Darkness descending the moon rises high,
Stars like a blanket cover the sky.
Daylight has vanished to leave in it's wake,
The void of all sunlight for moonbeams to take.
Entrapped by the beauty of stars shining bright,
With moonlight ascending to share through the night.
Beauty beyond all that man can endure,
Blackness so deep that's so long and so pure.
