Will you take me to sing the stars?
we will lie down
on the bosom of the earth
and forget ourselves there
we will sing and gaze
until our souls rise up
until we can scarcely remember
that we have bodies down there
flesh and bone to bring us back
and make us human again
will you teach me the words?
I’m afraid I never learned them
I am shamefully mute
but I have the melody
pulsing in my heart
I think I could learn
if you helped just a little
will you hold my hands?
don’t let go
I sometimes get lost
in the mist
I need you to hold me tight
and guide me down
when the singing is done
