The first moon is silver. 

The second is gold. 

The third moon is of mist and smoke and shining lights. 

The first moon is treasure.

The second is priceless.

The third moon is dew on cobwebs and lamplight on wet streets.

The first moon is joy.

The second is love.

The third moon is heartbreak and smiles and laughter in graveyards.

The first moon is healing.

The second is empathy.

The third moon is fleeing and loving and lost leaves in the wind.

The first moon is truth.

The second is wisdom.

The third is lies and imagination and truer than life.
