Cold Dark Orb

    Staring at a cold dark moon
    wondering why I feel this way

    The shadows and the darkness
    begging me to stay

    Casting my soul into the depths
    a lure for monsters deep

    Despondent, I reel it in
    empty of the catch I seek

    Clinging to the cliffside
    a dark form screeching below

    Climbing up in desperation
    I escape the Sirens hold

    Rescued by a guiding light
    its brilliance banishing the gloom

    The Northern Star rising above
    brightening the darkened moon.
