Robert's Black Cat Moan (Glenn Hughes) Contest ~ 7/6/26
I've become a sleepless stargazer Stepping out of the shadows at night Alone, I gaze at the stars each night Keeping watch over celestial skies Call me a dreamer and you'd be right Wanting things to be made right I stay awake, watching the cosmos Desperately hoping there will be a sign A sign of deliverance from the Divine Praying it's not too late to find that place deep within my soul that offers me control over my fate That place deep inside of me that shines like a galaxy of starlight I want to feel fully awake and not quake as if heaven will combust. I'd like life to give me a reason to purr instead of groaning and moaning like a dejected black cat on a fence... hissing at the world in my own defense Don't tell me it's too late to find that kind of satisfaction in life A stargazer, a dreamer I was born to shine like the stars I'm not yet ready to become stardust waiting until happiness comes along I'll learn to be patient, although I'm alone instead of howling like a black cat who moans I'll welcome sunlight after a long night wanting everything in my life to be made right When night is over and stars have faded I'll gaze at sunshine's radiance as it burns asking when it might be my turn to have golden days in my heart and soul... no more moaning like a black cat, all alone I don't want to be all alone
