Stuck In Your Orbit
Stuck in your orbit
Its' not long ago that i saw your face
I heard your laughter ring loud in the corridors of our abode
Yes, i felt your touch and sensed your profound love
But it would seem like a millenia ago now.
I am stuck in your orbit
I rise with the sun, the dawning of a new day
and fade with the brisk shadows of dusk.
Like water in the sand, i am a memory
A reminder you hold close to your heart.
This i hope...
Remind me once again of the depth of our hub.
Do I still tower above the rim in your horizon?
Your profile, a blique picture of my imagination
Yes, your voice a mixture of hoarse and huskiness
that melts my heart and weakens my resolve.
This live true in my mind, in my heart.
I am forever stuck in your orbit
Like the moon to the earth in a 365 rotational symmetry
Dawning with the dusk and setting with the dying rays
And yet unlike the silver grey crescent
My rotation is stuck in a single orbit of 52 weeks
I get to re-live in your memories
In the realm of light and speed
In the yonder where vacuum rules and laws of gravity bend
I see shades of you decorated in a rainbow
radiant, like the stars that shine above the green canopy of the Amazon
I hear your voice in a single ring of variant tunes
In your orbit, i cannot escape
I cannot flee or flight
I am stuck, forever awaiting your return
In a 365 rotational symmetry, and 12 moons later.
But do i get to choose like the moon
And follow your around the plain in 366 days?
