Among frozen diamonds of the night Somewhere in the Big Bear hides my quarry Sparks on black satin backdrop fill my sight Trillions of miles from their flaming glory Somewhere in the Big Bear hides my quarry The telescope’s servo motors whirring Trillions of miles from their flaming glory Seeking the ancient starbeams enduring The telescope’s servo motors whirring Almost eclipsed by a star shining bright Seeking the ancient starbeams enduring Faint luminous blush, lesser shade of night Almost eclipsed by a star shining bright Wan spiderweb, a billion suns glowing Faint luminous blush, lesser shade of night Iridescent pearl arms overflowing Wan spiderweb, a billion suns glowing Light hits my eyes, forty million years old Iridescent pearl arms overflowing Suddenly, hair stands on end, blood runs cold Light hits my eyes, forty million years old The oddest sense, from the light that I see Suddenly, hair stands on end, blood runs cold Someone, or something looks right back at me The oddest sense, from the light that I see Souls meeting through the ancient photon stream Someone, or something looks right back at me Or just this stargazer’s starshine daydream? Souls meeting through the ancient photon stream Sparks on black satin backdrop fill my sight Or just this stargazer’s starshine daydream? Among frozen diamonds of the night 4/7/16
