Moonshine
by DW ‘Lemur’ Rowlands
The moon shines down on cities
as she shines upon the seas:
And though we brighten the city light,
our myriad lamps cannot hide her glow–
the flames the Titan gave us are too dim
to outshine the Huntress’s power.
The moon shines down on cities
as she shines upon the plains:
The laws and tools Athena gave us
allow us build e’er higher, e’er stronger,
and yet we cannot forget the old wild ways
and rebuild ourselves in the Grey-Eyed’s form.
The moon shines down on cities
as she shines upon the wilds:
And though the arts Apollo gave us
have made us say we’re civilized,
it was the Huntress who raised us and so
we cannot forget the wild ways.
