a cloak of the night.
covered in stars.
a crown of the moon.
gems red as mars.

skin as black.
as the night sky.
radiant like Venus.
and black wings that will fly.

her cloak stretched.
far out behind her.
covering the sun.
that would soon blind her.

far does she fly.
into the day.
making it night.
as she goes on her way.

her brother the day.
does lay down to rest.
a pillow of light.
a bright sunny nest.

she tucks him in.
with the cloak of her night.
back to her journey.
she enters her flight.

she is the elder.
over the sun.
for the beginning was black.
in terms of light there was none.

she was the start.
and she'll be the end.
the dark needs no source.
but to death the sun she'll send.

she is like a vampire.
diving in on the day.
covering the light.
taking it away.
