Constellations

When the night sky inspires...

Will you watch the sky with me
Count the stars tonight
Let them be the guide
Shimmer brightly in the night.

I would ask the sacred bear,
And plead with mighty dragon.
I'll shout for Perseus to hear,
For Casiopeia to wrap in inky satin.

The words that remain unformed
The distance to the starry world
The whispers quietly untold.
Wonders what a heart will hold.

Unable to reach in person
the twinkling world above
Dreading the bright horizon
That light will surely shove.

With sunrays imminent
The battle yet not won
They move obedient
Until the magic's gone.
