Stars?
What do I need with stars
when you are in my arms
and I in yours?
star
night light
we see the same moon
the light on my neighbour’s gate
stars prickling the velvet sky
stars above
the stars above do not split the skies
the ocean is one indivisible
tell me then about your fences
my guiding star
my guiding star may be low
below the horizon
may disappear
at the rising of the sun
may fall unnoticed
from my conscious mind
but always and forever
it is there that I shall run
in your eyes
in your eyes
I see stars
in the skies
Every day, every hour
stars fall
but those to watch
are the ones which rise again
The sky was night-black
The sky was night-black but the people remembered.
The sky is night-black but the warm dawn is arriving;
Keep the door open and the fire well-stoked.
I feel vincible
I feel vincible this morning
waves crash
my heart and breath come quicker
then I remember
or am reminded
that I am a tiger
a star in the night
whose light never dies
then I remember
that I am a tiger
every year more stars
every year more stars in the sky
every day though my eyes grow cloudy
remembering in the darkness
From the star the finger pointed
From the star the finger pointed.
Light or lightning leapt the chasm and new life sparked to heartbeat. Energy in the bellied seed became the sapling, the desert oak which stands upon red-sanded rock. Branches spread in shelter, night air now rests soft.
Journeys, arrivals, tables overturned.
And so the life of ever begins, a star, and finger pointing.
