Red Moon In A Far Far Place
How Far Is A Distant Planet In Space

The red tinge of a moons flickering light
Giving off the feeling of an eerie, dreary night
Will the shadows bow out to the darkness glow
Or scared and afraid will I succumb to their ebb and flow
Many flee from their blackest fears
Only to find themselves in anguish and tears
Embrace the flicker of a red moon rising
It shows the distant, faint and scattered horizon
The edge of darkness, the edge of land
Nothing looks familiar, do I have my fate in my hands
Blistering heat from a sun gone down
Now turns to frozen crystals and the absence of sound
Another flicker another glimpse will there be a sign
I’m just walking into oblivion for the hundredth time
Over and over I see it again
Not of this world but another with in
My life, my god, my end seems near
Yet the quiet adds to the endless fear
Fear of not finding the hazy horizon
Wondering why I am alone again and again
Flickering shimmers of the reddish moon
Dances through the wisps of a covering bloom
Unfamiliar, not of this world maybe I’m dead
This precious moon so, so red
So frequent I dream of a glorious land
But so often Im lead by a curios hand
This is not earth but a place far away
Seventy light years by spaceship they say
I'm lost and found in a prison I made
Oh please red moon get out of my head
Torture and tear me apart
Stuck on a planet not on any chart
Life, death they have passed me by
No matter the time no matter the place
I'm stuck in the red moons abyss….
No matter the time, no matter the place

Having fun with life in general. Whatever comes to mind at any time. Getting more active again after long layoff. Acta Non Verba I wrote in 2006. Usually ANB has a number label on them. In order
