Moonlight True

The moonlight filters
into my dark corner
where I wait
alone.
In the dark night
everything is clear
and separate.
Right and wrong.
Black and white.
The stars bear witness
to the Truth
and I know what
I believe.
But soon the day
will come and
chase away
the darkness,
cloud the clear sky
And rain confusion
upon my soul.
If only I could cry
out in this present night
and avoid the sun's forgetful
rays.
If only I could
remember what I saw
tonight,
Alone,
in this dark corner
where the moonlight
soothes my tears.
