“Cycles past”

[Lydish]

The moon phases
Its thumbnail expression scrapes across the night sky
The stars glean their glint as though in my eye do you mean "gleam" instead of "glean"? Not sure how a star would glean its glint.

There they sit lighting what was never lit You could be more specific, instead of "what"
Guiding me as it would be the days past Guiding me as in days past maybe? I think you're using too many words to express this idea, and it's a bit clunky.
What do they tell me starring down Did you mean to do the pun with "Starring down", or do you mean staring down?
Countless, like members of some race I would take out the "like"
Come to face the facts of going back to the place from whence I came. I want to say this line is a bit long, "come to face the facts of going back to my place" maybe?

I am tamed by the fields of light over the darkened backdrop Have you thought about putting this in active voice? "Fields of light / over darkened backdrops / tamed me"
Each star the symbol of a thought I once entertained
In that which was once a day.

I think you start off really strong. The moon's thumbnail expression scraping the night sky is a really great image. Take my line edits with a grain of salt, since they're kind of stylistic preferences. However, I would definitely suggest to read this aloud, exactly as you've written, when you do your next edits. I think with a bit of polish, it would read much more smoothly

Good work, and good luck!
