Beneath the Blood Moon

Tears flow freely
Beneath the blood moon.
The dim red light illuminates
The desolation of the land below.
Waves crash somewhere near
Whimpering in the shadows
As old fears re-emerge
And new fears come into light.
Nothing is safe as the fury and rage
Pops into existence
Beneath the blood moon.

You find your fears unable to ignore
And you shiver in the cold dark.
Tears come and go as you fight
But nothing seems to work.
Courage and strength are
Nowhere to be found in your heart.
There is nothing that you can do
Or so it seems in the dim red light.
You try but fail
Beneath the blood moon.

But when you have given up
And it seems that the fear will win
The sun rises over the horizon
Illuminating everything in new light
And what was seen as cruel and evil
Is now seen as kind and good.
The fears are still there
But they do not control you
When you are no longer
Beneath the blood moon.
