Characters in the Sky

An ode to past love...

          Characters in the Sky

a ryan luse memory

 

 Verse 1

Dusk of a summer and the dawn of fall, I shall seek time in this portal of a lawn

As I lie beneath creation, cosmic starry sprawl, I reflect on yesterday's love songs

There was you Laura, when I have sixteen, talking about God in the blacklight glow

And you Judy, with a world to be seen, the cusp of change and a future to be rowed

Chorus 

Gazing upwards, I see you all intertwined with the lights

And it's thrilling enough to levitate my heart to timeless heights

The shapes our your faces blind me with beams from afar

Oh that symphony you create, like characters of the stars.

 Verse 2

I kind of like being sprawled out here, with this radio of stubborn change

The roads I've led, the oceans I've steered, if life was kind I would rearrange

There was you Sarah, just as I was self aware, you made believe in wishes

And you Tera, you changed hurt with care, I'll miss your far away kisses

Refrain

But let it unfold, let it fully set in

I want to see the universe within

I am many mirrors with new sight

Adding up to climatic chance, on some tomorrow night.

                                                                   

There was you Alissa and your sexy rock and roll tongue, the way you held, the way you sung

 There was you Kara and your rollercoaster sweet, the way you laughed and the crazy southern heat

 

 I see the lights of  Jessica, Caitlin & Jamie Jo, Danielle from college and the one's that let me go.

Chorus

 Gazing upwards, I see you all intertwined with the lights

And it's thrilling enough to levitate my heart to timeless heights

The shapes our your faces blind me with beams from afar

Oh that symphony you create, like characters of the stars.
