Darkness blankets the deep waves
While pale clouds hide the moon
No stars guide the way
As the shadow moves through the night
Absorbing every grain of sand
Every rock, flower, and leaf
Until the beach is clothed in darkness
Hungry waves lap at the shadow
As if fighting back
And the shadow slides under the water
Black waves reach for the clouds
Allowing the crimson moon to survey the water
The ocean's depths reflect its glow
Turning the water an ominous red
Beneath its crimson waves
Roars the shadow dark and fierce
Trapped by its own reflection
It melts into the crimson water
And to this day the dark ocean
Mirrors the image of the blood-soaked moon
And reminds the ocean of the shadow
That dared to destroy its haunting beauty
