Stars like jewels in deep, dark pools
Shimmering at the stroke of midnight
In the distance and the silence
That will outlast us

Stars drawing pictures in the sky
Above the ancient mountains
Like empty arms and silent music
Hinting at the mysteries of the blossoms

Falling to the Earth like light
Beginning the journey of a thousand footsteps
Across the distant stepping stones of heaven
And Across the endless years of time

Stars spreading out the destinations in the skies
And spreading out the furthest reaches of the blue
And spreading out the dreams of the dreaming trees
In the deep sleep of the depths of winter

Stars dancing the dance of darkness
And lighting the clouds above the moonlit oceans
Tracing out the shapes of faces
And whispering something in the sacred silence
