New Moon Phantom

New Moon Phantom

I am the constellations' twinkling eyes

and like a new moon phantom  in the distance

I cloak myself from earth's judgemental spies

though this separation is the bane of my existence

Peering through the darkness I lie weeping

alone and cold in this great outer space

I dream of earth and you while I am sleeping

and awaken with a smile upon my face

Then like a painful star shoots cross the heavens

a frozen atmospheric tear is wept

remembering what was promised on a full moon

but that time and distance said could not be kept

So I lay my phantom head against the new moon

hiding from the light of the earth's brand new day

I dream of landing safely on your planet

but must wait for a guiding star to show the way.
