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 traveled 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
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
