Finding an audience beneath the gods and stars
The night sky is always listening
Not even Jupiter or Mars
Can stop a sunless heart from glistening

I seek my solace above even air
So far up gravity can’t drag me down
I’ve learnt that nobody cares
Down here on the ground

Always staying radiant
Yet like Erebus bound to shade
Until morning light comes
Apollo curses stars to fade

I’ll always be here waiting
At the end of every day
Stood absurdly patient
Itching to have my say

Like a drug the taste of moonlight
Let’s me release and ease my mind
Ease your own and simply realise
We’re but a spec just born to die

Infinitely small in a universe infinitely big
Look up and feel yourself shrink
Feel the sky expand above you
It gets scary the more you think

I find beauty in the wonder
Sadness all the same
Parallel to awe in hearing thunder
Forlorn boredom at following rain

Pushing a boulder up an endless mountain
The struggle itself enough to fill a man’s heart
Swallowed and spat out like water in a fountain
Every time I get close I’m thrown back to the start

Bereft of belief there’s an eternity to sink into with conscience clean
I almost hope there’s no light at the end of the cave
Omnipresent white bearded psychopath always judging me
Maybe heaven is just a tale softening transition from ground to grave

But when we kick the bucket into endless fall back
Who says that the other side has to black?
Maybe they’ll show you dimensional paths
You landed on your feet and escaped gods wrath

I see my gods every night
Ruling sky’s I’m graced by the divinity
Still shining blindingly bright
Forever I’ll observe this affinity

It may seem odd and obscene
You’ll think I’m crazy if you see
I’ll still painstakingly preserve this routine
Because the stars are all that’s looking out for me
