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.
