When the Twilight Moon Arrives-

When the twilight moon arrives
I shall be far and gone.
When darkness engulfs the sky,
I'll fade with the dying sun.

To travel the vast many galaxies
and to wish upon the stars,
To cry tears of the universe
and to fly near and far.

To jump and play "planet pool,"
To search the Milky Way,
To count backward from ten to one,
Then into Orion I'd stray.

I'd travel to the great Betelgeuse,
Going the speed of light;
Time stands still as time goes by-
Staying the same while growing in might.

But then I would run out of fuel;
My ship begins to fail.
Stuck out in the Great Beyond
Where I begin to cry, to wail.

And then with one last dying tear
My body will go awry;
A shooting star will then appear
When the twilight moon arrives.
