The moon spilled its silver light

[Bassim]

I am wondering if my sentence sounds natural.

The moon spilled its silver light across the landscape, where an old man with a branch and a dog was trudging towards the grove of woods.

Would my sentence be clearer if I rephrase it like this:

The moon spilled its silver light across the landscape, where an old man supporting himself with a branch and accompanied by a dog was trudging towards the grove of woods.

In the original, you would need were. How about a verb like propping instead of something bog-standard like supporting to keep the narrative flow? You could also cut some of the wordiness by using with instead of accompanied.
