Black Moon Rising

There are those times

Where even the most meticulous plans

Are laid to waste in an instant

By circumstances within our control

But not

I blame the black moon

There are those times

Where cursed events intertwine

With the blessed ones

Each feeding off the other

Leaving nothing

I blame the black moon

There are those times

Where impromptu dalliance

Is crushed by the weight

Of the omnipresent burdens

We endure

I blame the black moon

There are those times

Where heaven and earth collide

And we are powerless to avoid the aftermath

Relegated to picking up the shattered pieces and

Sweeping dust

I blame the black moon
