A Silhouette Under The Sky

When the moon is gone
And sky is bereft of stars
The night becomes dark

A black velvet veils
The beauty of the night's face
Covering her shape

Night hides in shadows
A silhouette under the sky
Without the moonlight

It's the moon goddess
Who lends beauty to the night
And takes it away

Night borrows her charm
From the lights of moon and stars
To adorn her face

She hides in darkness
On moonless and starless night
Afraid to be seen
