Poem
As the moon drifts away on the sea I'm shivering in the freeze Of a lonely breeze Stars cascade on my mind I'm just looking for what's mine Pretending to feel fine A meteor shower isn't what I need As I'm falling to my knees Mouthing to the heavens, "please" Melodic memories mesmerize As if the universe is telling me lies Crowning me the lord of flies The universe opens up like a book made of stars And I'm wondering why it was so hard To not break away unscarred See the stars in the sky are long dead But beautiful even if they died Just damned souls that can't hide Flowers blossom with moon pearls Before my fingers unfurled And beheld by a hungry world Rainbows shoot over and over on the horizon And that's just where my eyes are When the coming sunrise chases lies far I'm just a man seeing the beauty untold Unfold in the cold of night I know This is a splendor only the stars can show But as the moon drifts away on the sea I'm shivering in the freeze Of a lonely breeze But not for long as I feel the sun Light dancing on my skin I'm no longer shunned And the ethereal truth leaves me stunned I was always a child of radiant light And I no longer have to look to the sky To figure out why For as long as I dream I can defeat hate And chase away my stubborn hard ways That lead to bad decisions and dark days But deep down I still knew I'll always swoon for the moon That drifts away on the sea too soon
