Sleep With the Stars

sleep with the stars,
and you'll awake in the sun-
shine at night, and you'll arise,
in the morning's beautiful light

like dew on the grass,
you cover me
like petals on a tulip,
you complete me
like pebbles on a beach,
you surface me
and like air in the sky,
you surround me

walk to the moon,
a smile may appear on your lips,
the journey is worth your while-
so right this time,
fly with the eagles,
        and you will have lived free

like a tide in the sand,
   you engulf me

walking or running through my day,
visions of warmth on your smile i see-
and i feel, 
                i YEARN, 
you long to be near me the way that i am
when we are together;
belonging and being, i am with you,
feeling and needing, you live in me too-
dance with me on the dark side on the moon,
and they shall see us shine;
dance as we do in our dreams,
for i love you and you are mine

the ways of our days are clear and secure,
my enemy is time i am not with you;
my enemy is a dream and to wake up
with you not near me,
but only in thought,
and not in sight-

your soul is my sweet friend,
my  i m m o r t a l i t y  is your heart,
           my love is forever you
