Liquid Light

The bright stars in the night sky

Beckon to me across the many years

Their beauteous light must travel

To my wondering eyes.

These jewels in a velvet void

Haunt my captivated thoughts;

And every night I watch in awe

With my wondering eyes.

Weave a strand of starlight

Into a tapestry of delight;

Cup your hands to gather a pool

And quench your thirst with cool

Liquid Light.

I stand with upturned face

Gazing into the vastness of space

That recedes toward infinity

From my wondering eyes.

These diamond bright points

Are like tiny ethereal lamps

Pouring out their sacred oil

To anoint my wondering eyes.

Weave a strand of starlight

Into a tapestry of delight;

Cup your hands to gather a pool

And quench your thirst with cool

Liquid Light.

I want, I need, I ache to soar

Through the darkling distances

And flit moth-like among the starry host

To feast my wondering eyes.

I’ll drift in the endless tides

That flow between the flaming orbs;

And float in a scintillant sea of light

That drowns my wondering eyes.

Weave a strand of starlight

Into a tapestry of delight;

Cup your hands to gather a pool

And quench your thirst with cool

Liquid Light.
