Falling

The moon begins to fall
The distance I thought so far
It seems was not far at all

Far off a bright shining star,
Beckons a clarion call,
The cry feels so bizarre,

The journey starts with a crawl
Accompanied by guitars
While Moon furthers falls

Comet

Oh my bright and burning star

Some would stay you’re falling

It’s just that you blaze so radiantly

The Earth has turned her back on you

You have a path, a steady course

Returning to give us bliss

Never altering your initial trail

Although we may not see its plan

Some may see a heart of ice

Some may see a trail of fire

I see a journey half completed

And the future yet to come

Masque

Fake smiles on put upon faces

No genuine laughs to lighten the day

Nary a hope of knowing what one’s place is

Only the masque, a mere children’s play

We cavort and politic, Sell our secrets for fame

Keeping the bigger ones close to our chest

Legions of fans screaming a name

Never willing to take five minutes rest

When one of them falls another will rise

A sad state of affairs, a hard thing to see

A short focus on the cause of demise

Never willing to place the blame where it should be

We worship too hard and plot our way

But sometimes it’s taken way too far

There’s a line that’s crossed, very easy to stray

To be near the rising star

Leave them time for their lives, it will be good

Their work will gain for it too

Think if it was your life you know you would

Dislike being stalked, True?

Somehow the rhyme scheme got away from me here.  The sentiment is there though.
