To See a Star
A day spent at the stream
With Moondust
Infinities
And beyond
We will come back to the stream
To see a star
In its’ liquidity
In its’ depths
Of my heart
With Moondust
By the stream
Starry glimpses
Of futures’ laid
To travel
In many ways
Through streams
Through dreams
That can never fade
With the night….
The letters began to gleam
Upon the staff
What could it mean?
The way, home?
Could this be right?
I grasped the staff
Felt its’ mesmerizing power
And pointed to the stars
Numbers began to fall
In my heart
With startling rapidity
I remembered
When I launched an arrow
Of gold and brown
To the stars I felt its’ flight
The very same as on this night
High in the night sky
I saw
I felt
An eagle
With stars for wings
Such elation
That only I
Could see that constellation
The arc
To travel
In my heart
In a night sky
To see
My constellation
See it fly
