Battle for the Sky

The Moon and the Sun were in Battle

Amid the dimming sky,

The Sun shot brilliant, flaming arrows

In all directions through the sky.

The Moon hid stealthly,

Between the golden lined clouds.

And shot one silver spear.

True to its mark, the spear hit

The Sun on its flaming shoulder.

Hot blood spilled across the vast blue sea,

As the clouds carried the wounded Sun

Down below the horizon.

The Moon stretched forth his silver cloak

And clothed the sky in night.

And reigned until the day broke forth,

And the Sun once again took up the charge.
