Starlight
A cosmic collision came charging through
the perimeter in space
lines, form & energy
The solace of the solar system
We live in the land of make believe
fallen emblems with no leaves on trees
Can't escape the way we feel
perhaps a love embrace will seal the deal
Look at the swan upon the lake
call it beauty in it's lasting state
Shadows beckoning call filters through the scene
we make mistakes cause we fall short
Laughter
a solemn pause to Gideon
Orion in orbit tranquil and electric
through the duration of time we created a rhyme
A pulse of the human heart
will light the spark of what I was waiting for
Lest I implore another open door
we will light a match to celebrate are innocence
Forget the night the day is far spent
I have become cumbersome to this world
A solace to unfurl
the gravitational pull may bring some down
A planet that dwells beyond the great divide
some may insist to run away and hide
Look to the sun to help you get by
very often it's a substance that makes you get high
