Dancing On Star Tops
Dancing On Star Tops
Gazing down
and they gaze up.
From lifetime
Of pointed light.
Night-time dialled up
Loud: strong.
Listen… hum and hum
Their shining song.
Step one, step two
I sweep and leap
In hidden clouds.
In black unknown.
Still bright: light
Are stars in my night.
Still they glow,
Quick quick
and slow.
Still, still:
Ssshhh…
I hear their tap.
On tops
I dance.. and dance.
