Sea of Stars

I am in a sea of stars
In a forever cerulean sky.
No matter where I am in the back of my mind
A memory is burned inside,
And this memory is but a state
Of forever being openhearted.
It took one good crack for me to break;
Now there’s love in everybody’s face.
This sky is the permanent background
Of that vast expanse behind the veil;
It’s a narrow tunnel ’tween the worlds
But the space out and in is the same.
And neither can contain
This feeling that’s reflected
In the everpresent starlight;
These stars will forever shine.

Behind and inside there’s love, longing, and peace
And I’m not looking into your face;
I’m holding your hand as we together
Behind these concrete walls and dirty streets,
Suburbia, magazines, cares and problems,
Are every moment flying through
The vast expanse of stars,
Where I’ve been since we knocked so close;
And I think it was a permanent bind,
A state I’ve never known.
Pull back the veil and there you are
And I – I am never alone.
