Moonless night

It's a moonless night today
And I miss the shiny beam,
That makes sand glitter like silver
And shows me what seems is like it seems.
Yesterday it was a sliver,
Not a tiny speck, not round,
Today I must spot the dark cloud
Alone, and keep my self dusted and sound.
It's a moonless night today,
Time to turn up the lights,
And forgive myself and seek it without,
Because it's a moonless night.
