Starlight Teardrops

I slipped on a teardrop and landed in a hole
A most secret hiding place within my mind
This darkest abyss in the depths of my soul
Only your touch, these chains could unbind

I slipped on a teardrop and landed on the moon
Its ivory beams bathe the path in frosty light
That guides you through the forest to return soon
And wrap me in your warmth in the chill of night

I slipped on a teardrop and landed in the clouds
Where I can watch and smile when you fly by
You glide on strong wings, nimble and proud
My soaring goddess, blessing from on high

I slipped on a teardrop and landed on the Sun
Its blinding rays tore through my every conceit
My angel took my hand and away we did run
Together, our souls bathed in gold light and heat

I slipped on a teardrop and landed in the Milky Way
Hand in hand with my love, in rapturous flight
Flying with you forever through heaven I would stay
Eternally bathed in divine love’s radiant light
