Searching
I wore out my telescope
And I nearly gave up hope of finding anything

Discovery
Was an accidental thing
A reflection slipping in
To the corner of my eye

I saw you
And moon
And hope flooded through me
I just needed proof

I saw you and moon
I had to get closer
For a look

Alone and
A universe away
I was drawn to make my way to where the living are

My eyelids
Filled with hypnogogic shapes
And my body wracked with shakes
I travelled light years
In heart beats

I saw you and moon
Dancing together against dark blue
I saw you and moon
I never felt lonely ‘til I saw you

Been making
Music
With instruments
Of science
Distracted
And happy
And so self
Reliant

Then I saw you and moon
And hope flooded through me
And I chased proof
But I left, I left too soon
‘cause light is a liar
And so are you
I saw you and moon
But the image was older
Than the truth
When I arrived
I found only tombs ‘cause light is a liar
Telling old truths
Having had something to aim for
Has left me lost.
