All I ask is the moon on a stick,
It is my one desire.
To have it’s yellow glow in my hands.
To admire it for it’s imperfections.
No one seems to be able to give me the moon,
Is it really that much to ask?
It’s just one little circle in the sky,
I only want it for a little while.
And would anyone really miss it?
All I ask for is the moon on a stick,
So I can give it to you.

The age of man has dawned,
Like a red sunrise we flourished,
The light of our world.
By the skin of our teeth we clawed our way out of the mud.
And into the future.
Great generals lead us to war,
Great scientists into the future.
We endured for centuries,
Year by year, decade by decade,
We lived and learnt.
Until eventually
Like sunset we faded gently into the night,
The end of an age

The kindness of strangers,
An unimaginable force,
Stopped by nothing,
It is the kindness that we need not ask for,
The door held open,
The friendly hello.
We rely on people we have never met.
And they answer our silent cries for help.

Just one more message,
One more,
And the night disappears.
In ones and twos the messages appear,
Replies within the minute.
One more message,
Then I’ll go to sleep, one more.
Just one more message,
And the night slips away,
Out of reach.

At the swinging of a pendulum
The seconds pass one, by, one.
Like beats of the drum
The spinning of the hands which dictate time
But it ends,
The weight hits the bottom, the pendulum stops swinging
The drum falls silent
With its energy all spent, it stops.
Without the will to continue,
It is allowed to die,
and silence takes over.
As time is allowed to stop.

When the light in the world fades into obscurity,
When all meaning is lost,
And your words fall upon deaf ears,
What do you do?
Do you sit and smile at passers by?
Try to speak as silence takes hold?
Try and watch as the darkness clouds your vision?
Or do you wait,
In the blind hope that it will end
And the light will return.
