about

Written in 2014, I was inspired by watching a cat play with the contents of a terrarium designed to look like the surface of the moon.

lyrics

Lost in thought and sense of time,
gravity gets lost on me;
The gently waving regolith,
within this glass holds the history of the sun.

Pyroclastic glasses of yellow, green, and red,
your meandering rilles, and domes and wrinkle ridges,
focused in the curve of light.

Here Orion waits with abated breath,
the forgotten remains, of man's forays.

One small step, one giant leap awaits for me,
but Neil Armstrong were you always waiting here?
One small step, one giant leap for all mankind,
Neil Armstrong were you always waiting here?

Touching down on this tranquil sea of serenity
we can see stars more beautiful than we have ever seen.

One small step, one giant leap awaits for me,
but Neil Armstrong were you always waiting here?
One small step, one giant leap for all mankind,
Neil Armstrong were you always waiting here?
