"The Maiden And The Moon"

I'm hanging by a thread

At least I feel that way sometimes

A noose around my neck

Though I'd make some pretty wind chimes.

I'm not going to let go

And let myself fall down

Luckily I have my many stars

That guide me through this desolate town.

I wander around lost

In the burning sun

But when the night comes

I can begin to have fun.

My many stars come out to shine

Showing me the way

And though I'll have a sleepless night

I'll be ready for the day.

Maybe you can guess

Who or what the stars are

But all that matters is their brilliance

To show me how to travel far.

Though nothing glows brighter

Then the moon in the sky

I may have my many stars

And that is not a lie.

But this big bright globe

Is more than just a friend

He keeps my heart up there

I know it's more than just pretend..

And more than just a fairy tale

Of a maiden and the moon

One day it will be forever after

Though maybe not so soon.

I wish upon a star tonight

Though the man in the moon is listening

I say: "I wish I can keep him for all time!"

And I swear, after, I saw him glistening...
