These Starry Eyes

Take me to that starry light up in the sky

Carry me through the dark night, way up high

I’ll spread my arms apart and fly

To a distant world that I can call mine

 

Oh, the grass will be green, perfect as can be

With flowers strewn around and tall birch trees

Iridescent blue with clouds pure white

And the sunlight streaming through, what a sight

 

Yes, there’ll be a place for you and me

A place where we can just be

We’ll play tag until we pant

And we’ll laugh until we can’t

 

My other half, we are yin and yang combined

A balance of opposites perfectly aligned

You appear to me a dreamy apparition

And all the same, a masterful composition

 

Two halves, we’ll make our way to the stream of serenity

And find a mirror sitting still with no hidden identity

Concealed within are the secrets of the world’s quintessence

The water clear cyan with a fortune for our essence

 

We’ll look at our reflections across the water where they lay

And they’ll stare back at us, winking bright as day

No ripples in our picture, but for the twinkling of our eyes

For you and I will have aged to become so wise

 

I’ll push you onto the lush grass and you’ll pull me down

We’ll sit side by side and make iris flower crowns

And when the horizon is a blur of orange and pink,

We’ll lay back and stare at the specks of white among that midnight ink

 

I’ll count one, and you count two

And we’ll tell each other stories like we used to

Until the sea of stars has drowned,

And the chirping of birds is the only sound

 

Yes, there’ll be a place for you and me

A place for hope and a place for dreams
