Starlight gazing while driving home
I wondered
how
ancient sailors
found their way
when the map seemed so much
more
fascinating
than the destination
But isn't that
what wise ones
tell us
about happiness?
It is a journey,
a quest
a striving for all
you can learn
a desire
for the
best
life
can
offer
So I seek you
night after night, in the dark skies
My compass pointing towards you,
the Star
pulling me in
with that beguiling way
you have with the cosmos,
shifting planets out of their orbits
kissing stars
firing up quasars
dancing on Saturn's rings
Trailing after you Haley's comet refuses to wait its allotted 76 years
Hale-Bopp wants to salsa dance with you to mambos, cha-chas, and rumbas
Not quite able to match that rhythm right there in your hips
the sun creates a glorious dawn
and tries to sneak into your window
and steal one of your fabulous kisses.
But I find my way there first, last, and always and
in that universe called your bed we form a constellation that's sensual yin and yang
Endless warm hugs, head nudges, fingers intertwined I lay there with you
mourning the faded stars until
you
open
your
eyes.
And then my dream begins
A walking, breathing, heart-pounding vision
awakens in my arms, and the world
can now spin on its axis,
ocean tides
can wash up on our beaches,
babies can suckle
at their mothers' breasts.
Commerce may start between people
because
There are no more nations because of you
There are no more wars because of you
There are no more borders because of you
There are no more brown, yellow, white, or black people because of you!
Because of you, the Goddess has returned
and those men who would divide us
are filled with something
stronger
than
their
desire
to
possess
Anything
But
Their
Own souls
For they can see Love walk among us
nestling in trees and bushes in the dusk
watching the heavens spin day to night and
the moon rises
as she travels
home
to me!
while I
am
starlight gazing.
