Stars
Journey of Celestial Reflections
Lyrics
The stars have so far to go
The stars have a considerable distance to travel.
Alone or in harness
Whether individually or working together.
Across a window pane
Across a transparent surface, possibly symbolizing obstacles or challenges.
Hour after hour tonight
Continuously throughout the night.
I've journeyed with them, steady
I've been on a constant journey with the stars, steady and unwavering.
The waves of your breath
A metaphorical connection to the rhythmic waves of someone's breathing.
Dark space between our beds
A void or emptiness between two sleeping spaces.
On the table a full tumbler
A glass filled to the brim is on the table.
Splits the light of stars
The glass on the table breaks the light from the stars.
To stars, or floats
Addressing the stars or floating in space.
A leaden column of dead water
A heavy, lifeless mass of water.
Dead sky. From centuries
The sky seems lifeless for centuries.
Away, out of the reign
Away from the rule or influence.
Of one of nineteen pharaohs
Reference to a historical figure, possibly emphasizing the vastness of time.
A planet's dust, metallic
Dust from a planet, possibly metallic in nature.
Alive, is sifted down
Alive and moving, falling gently.
Hovers in bright
Hanging suspended in a bright, curved trajectory.
Arc upon your cheek
Close and personal, touching a cheek.
Miraculous! I lean
Expressing amazement, leaning towards the darkness of space.
Across the dark and touch it
Physically reaching out to the darkness of space.
You smile in your sleep
A serene expression during sleep.
How far, how far we've come
Reflecting on the considerable distance covered together.
Together, tumbling like stars
Moving through life like stars, whether together or alone.
In harness or alone
Emphasizing the journey, with or without companionship.
