Moon smiles



Moon smiled at me
Show me the black wound
Of its snow white body
And said you see I pained
Despite, with pleasure
I bloom everyday
Like an eternal flower
In the dark of night
Flooding cool beams of light

Metamorphose begun
I felt the deep turn inside
Black horse became dark night
I became the glittering moon
Of snow white sight
