Diary of the Lost

It lights up the sand, the bright full moon.

May it chase away the night that skitters along the dune


That single wrong step from great, impending doom

Is what keeps me awake and praying for noon


I stumble and follow the lord high moon

Whilst I struggle and fight the urge to mourn.


The black mountains, so large that they loom.

I pray for safe haven, may it come for me soon.


The aching for the season of monsoon

Messes with my mind, I call myself a loon


It is all I can do, to follow the moon

And from death that skitters along the dune.
