Starlight

Starlight As I lie down gazing skyward With the darkness black as ink As my eyes adjust to heaven As my brain declines to think A connection re-established, As in wonders of the womb, Invades my very being As those stars parade their room Like the vastness of the ocean As the life within it teems There's a hopeful adulation Singing out within my dreams; That when the light's extinguished As the days come to their end, The world that I inhabit Will call me out as friend When we return to stardust In that firmament of love Those white angelic pin-lights Will call us back to home above And soon there will be singing As we gather in that space For the Wizard of Creation Has designed for us a place. My hands now behind my head And my eyes now closed in prayer With my future written in the stars I can journey without care. So the special place I'm given Has importance nonetheless In my roaming through this kingdom; Every day a chance to bless. So awake now to my journey And the purpose there within No longer looking downward At the yellow path's brick skin. We just have to be authentic And the truth will stand the test. Every light that shines uniquely Sends it's pulse out to the rest May the cloudless skies now resonate In my empty chest of tin. Oh, to know the ancient starlight Close to heaven's veil, so thin.
