Star Gazing

Inspired by Mazzy Star, 'Into Dust'

Why should the stars be so quiet?

Soft and solid, anchoring the sky.

Ancient waves traveling to us

Giving what we take.

I sit beside you, our silence is warm.

The vastness wants to overwhelm

I take and anchor,I touch and hold

You give me wordless acceptance

Life is too huge, too unquiet

I search for what I can give

In return for your love.
