Trying
(An informal dodecaverse on the word pool "Cloud, Silver, Distant, Way, Lover, Path, Mend, Ease, Night, Silence, Hand, Together.")
A cloud passed by our mountain
And eclipsed our silver moon;
It shimmered in the distant sky
And lofted on its way.
As lovers know, the pale moon's glow
May never light the path.
It may not mend a breaking heart
Or ease a troubled mind.
But oh, the beauty of the night
And oh, the silence still;
With moonlight and an offered hand
Together we can try.
