My Dearest Moon,
You who are the light in the darkness,
The guide for the stars,
The boon of night travelers,
The lover of lovers,
The balancer of the sun.
Chandra to some,
Tsukuyomi to some,
Khonsu to some,
Artemis to some.
Friend and Guide to me.
I have a favor to ask of you.
Will you be my light
Tonight?
And will you also be
His darkness?
I know, it is hard to do both,
But I have faith in you.
You can do anything.
I am desperate.
I have no one to turn to
Except you.
I must go, must disappear
Into darkness.
Must escape.
Must hide in the shadows,
Hide from him who hunts me.
Will you guide my footsteps?
Will you light my way
In moon-light
And shroud his steps
In moon-shadow?
Will you shift your light
And your shadows
To protect me?
My dearest moon,
I place my life
In your silver fingers.
