The Promise

The stars are my witness, 
to the moon in the sky
My wishes be granted, or 
these tears I will cry
For as the stars rule by 
night, and the sun by day
I hope to get my wings, 
and travel up away.

For some time in the 
navel of wishing from 
storms
We keep our own 
together, from termites 
and worms
The penguin and the 
dolphin, the vulture and 
dove
Are in all loveliness, 
witnesses to our love.

As in mornings lovely, as 
in mornings complete
This basis shall we live by, 
till our end we meet
To keep our souls 
forever, together as one
Never to fall in battle, or 
leave one alone.

A thousand eyes seldom, 
fall upon Eden's ears
But if we be just an eye, 
the lesser the tears
The stars are my witness, 
to the moon in the sky
My wishes be granted, or 
these tears I will cry.
