Its hazy path leaves an uncertain trail
as it navigates its way through the night
Ducking and diving between whatever
If there is room for error then it's tight.
It has a mission, to go where no man has been
Almost what James T Kirk would have said
As it spins around our world, its lunar path
knowing instinctively what lies ahead.
Hiding behind clouds, the mysterious veil
Checking before it reappears so it seems
Then it steps into the limelight to claim glory
"Here I am, did you miss me and my moonbeams"
You can almost hear the man in the moon
Or is it just a lump of cheese saying these things!
The show, its stage, its audience appears every night
and we, the onlookers are just waiting in the wings.
