The Moon

The Moon

The moon beams down, reflected light

The going forth in the moon at night

Is here the wolf, and here the dog

Passion revealed in analogue

The beast within behind the mind

The animal part of humankind

The scorpion rising from the deeps

The moon reflects, her counsel keeps

The mind controls the lesser forms

Brings back the calm, and here transforms

Between two towers, the unknown

The path leads on, in undertone

A harsh face is here beheld

Mind in moonlight, love expelled.
