Cup of Stars
When I escape
this world of storm--
(I can, you know, in many ways)
I'll leave behind
(they say it's so)
Just a body full of days.
When I escape
--go heaven-bound --
As easily as a tear is shed,
I'll leave behind
(they tell me so)
Just a body on a bed.
But oh, my Love
a Devil struck You down,
so after I had drunk my fill
of life without You, I begged God,
"Let an ocean-full of love
for him
who yearned for me,
fill me to the brim!
Then
I'll quick escape
This world of storm--
as a breath is breathed
--so easily--
If only he can take my cup
and dip it in the ocean waves
that our Love, unquenched, will quick fill up
and set his Spirit -- and mine-- free
to sing a thousand days."
So when I escape
this world of storm--
(I can, you know, in many ways)
I'll leave behind
(they say it's so)
Just a body full of days.
And wen I escape
--go heaven-bound --
As easily as a tear is shed,
I'll leave behind
(they tell me so)
Just a body on a bed.
But in the stars
the universe
is ours, my Love,
and then
together we'll drink deeply
of
Eternity
again.
for my lover, Lee Harvey Oswald
falsely accused of killing John F. Kennedy
