|  |  | A Lunar Lapse of Deception (Lyric) by FreeFormFixation
 
 A kaleidoscopic tidal reflection 
captivates our thoughts.  
The colors catch our eyes.  
Ensnared, we travel towards that distant precipice 
to dangle silently in the air 
above the yawning moon.  
As stars dissolve and drift downward as dust, 
piling up on us, 
we lose our balance from bearing their weight 
and tumble.
       
And I wonder, 
what could wait for us there 
upon her pale and jealous surface 
where borrowed light radiates?  
The Moon has built our houses, 
our homes, our refuge.  
While we fearlessly float 
like feathers freed from flocks of geese 
toward her empty-eyed gaze.  
Amazed yet afraid.
For a million years we traveled there 
together, 
but split by metres of space 
as invisible tendrils of gravity pulled our comatose forms towards her 
dead, open arms.  
Our new Mother:  Lady Luna.  
Gaia's grip was forgotten so long ago, 
we only know this trance-like train ride.  
Our destinations decided already 
by decades of nuclear science.
        
New science arises from Silence.
And we land like leaves on a stagnant pond, 
creating ripples in her barren surface.
"My children!  You have finally arrived!  
I have been waiting for so long..."
We've been stolen, or repossessed. 
Cocoons of living energy 
to bring life back to a face without atmosphere.
          
To bring love back to a heartless, cratered chest.  
To nurse once again at her breast.  
To revive our lives once again.  
To be born once again as infants.
It's strange that I never thought to look down at the earth as she 
withered behind us!  
She went from blue and green and white 
to black and grey, 
to brown and red, 
before melting 
and rejoining this void that has always surrounded us 
as a speck of dust!
From dust to ash to water 
to bubbles, 
concocted from subatomic particles, 
we rejoin our mother pulled from another.  
Conjoined as a strand, hand-in-hand 
we leave one stone 
to revitalize its satellite, 
populating this empty night.
A new Lunar race, now face-to-face at Heaven's Gate.
How I rejoice that you rode this train with me...
