To the Moon

I sacrificed my eyes for a sight so elegant To see that which gave us life To see beyond what lies ahead For I felt an answer somewhere far away Is it not what shines so bright, I wonder For it grew something beautiful And never have I known the world to be so small For every man throughout time has seen it Yet rarely do we truly understand As we cast our gaze upon the soft morning sky Time is forever irrelevant For in this moment So am I To see something shared through eternity To watch it slowly rise Never could you ask for more For in this single moment We can see through every man’s eyes From our latest moments To the beginning of time Yet soon will it be just another day Morning dew slowly melting away But perhaps it was I who, fell Down unto earth to catch this glimpse For I could never let it go Never free to truly see my own sights Desperation thins upon my hands in which its wrapped Soon to be truly free, even if just a moment For freedom taught me naught but man to be simple For in complexity we are blinded Never to feel the wind flowing like a gentle ocean To close our eyes and see us within the cosmos For no fewer things can bring us peace As shame has never lied within the truth For this universe brought us forth It is here we will forever remain Whether moving or in ashes, we will be one As we live within a paradise of sights unseen For man blinds himself with fear Never to open his eyes unto the truths of the sky Let us one day walk freely Smiling at every new star For nothing ever seemed so beautiful Nothing has ever made me feel so peaceful But what is truly, truly far
