Moonlit creature by the reeds
With golden wounds and marble skin
Tangled in the moonlight wings
Hallowed by kings and queens
Milk and honey in endless streams
Bathe it's broken mossy limbs

Sunlit creature by the reeds
Tears keep flowing through it cheeks
Its fleshy heart now barely beats
The lantern tongue no longer eats
Its hollow lungs no longer breathe
Its swollen mind only dreams

Unlit creature in the reeds
Only green vines hold it still
Absent soul long unseen
All the stars together weep
Empty vows are now fulfilled
Milk and honey forever swirl
