The Dark of the Moon

when the night whispers low
a silence in which soft shadows
glow, a moment so frail and
the world wears its veil
by the dark of the moon,

why death came so soon and
her tiny body took flight
and wind swayed to cradle
my cat in tender display
by the dark of the moon

She's gone suddenly to find
the truths she seeked in
this mixed-up world, with a life
so unique, inside the stillness
of night and the dark of the moon
