Moon lyrics

Looking across the lighted surface

A sky of black, stars alit

Its stellar sphere is uniform

Surface shades of black and white

Silent and stoic land of rock and dust

Pock-marked as if doodlebugs thrived

Craters varied of meteor strikes

Great events so long gone stilled

Voyagers intruded on a sea of tranquility

And their ambitions, universal come

Then to depart in novel loss
