Who dwells upon the dark side
Concealed in the ebony night
Who is he who turns away
When hiding from the light

Of Heaven’s solar star
Casting radiance on his face
Hoping to wake the man in the moon
Asleep in outer space

 

“There is no dark side in the moon, really. Matter of fact, it’s all dark” – Gerry O’Driscoll

Lighting the skies, in the shape of the sun

Satellites, like stars, gathered and hummed

Ready to take over, this planet called Earth

Looking for a reason, for their alien rebirth

Awaiting, the mothership orders them to proceed

Each of them, anxious, to complete their deed

Hurriedly, landing, on fields and mountain tops

Running, grabbing, and returning with their crops

Back on board, where the engines were gunning

Successfully defeating the humans, how cunning

Never revealing to us, this new hidden race

That made a quick exit, back into outer space

There was a child, who kept to himself

Toys in the attic, no room for a shelf

Rocking horse, teddy, guitars and cars

But there was just once place

He’d reach, for the stars

***

Watching through windows, moon glowing bright

Imagination, his playmate, who stayed through the night

Knowing one day, he would venture from this place

To paint his name among the stars

In ethereal outer space

This rock is now my home, a place
I travel on, through outer space

A flight to galaxies, still unknown
Adventures, by myself, alone

Standing in the open air
I see Jupiter, floating there

Watching me, a leery eye
As I go quietly, drifting by

In awe of all the mysteries
On this planet, I can see

Ribbons of waves across, a band
Could I ever walk this land?

Shall I journey far across?
And glide, just like an albatross

In an atmosphere, unconfined
Perhaps, a chance to just unwind

Or should I stay here, bide my time
In this universe, quiet sublime
