Standing in a crater in my leaden shoes
|
I am held here by more than gravity
|
She's been hit so many times with heavenly abuse
|
Quite a history of catastrophe
|
But the footprints on her face are merely made by man
|
She is shining despite the rough terrain
|
I think she picks her teeth with the staff of a flag
|
She plucked from her teeth with playful disdain
|
|
Glowing survivor
|
Gorgeous in orbit
|
Throwing a spotlight
|
Over the chasm
|
Glowing survivor
|
Gorgeous in orbit
|
Over the sea ("Heavens" @ end)
|
|
Geological samples held up to the light
|
Teach very little of her life
|
Astronomer's deny what they can divine
|
By merely gazing up into her eyes
|
Every lunar cycle she begins anew
|
Not afraid to show herself in full
|
The man is a myth
|
Lovers share the view
|
All God's howling dogs to her are dutiful
|
|
If you come at nightfall
|
You can see all her magnitude
|
Her tidal tears have fallen
|
Reflective of the sun
|
Beaming her gratitude
|
