Consistently Yours, Mr Moon

Can I be a constant feature 
                                   Set you on your path
                           Guide you when you unawares 
                               And watch you as you toil 


                                 Can I be a conscience 
                               Help you on your growth 
                           Your constant life companion 
                          From a distance dazed by eyes 

                              I can be your confidence 
                  When words of tears stream into focus 
                     As a compass I can offer you hope 
                            of a brighter wind at sea 

                   Let me be your gold-plated armour
                  Protect you as you draw to slumber 
              When life showers with its endlessness
                       I'll bear the blows discreetly

                          I am the one you look to 
                           but yet you cannot see 
             The one who lights your path so gently
       yet you can only behold of me in the darkness 

                       My light does not create you
                        but yet keeps you in sustain 
                 Rotating about your limited universe 
             From conception till your biddings breath

                         I write to you this evening 
                     To remind you plain and clear 
              That although by day I may be hidden
               Yet in the deserts night i can be seen 

                     Don't be puzzled at this letter 
                 As my intentions have been clear 
           You're the love I seek from a vast plane 
                   Consistently yours, Mr Moon
