Our Stars to Sow

Our Stars to Sow 

On that cold cold night

In the bleak of the dark

When the early morning stars

Faded into the days to come

I longed for their return 

From the heavens not so far away

Perhaps they might blow a tender kiss

Or clasp my loving hands 

Gently as the winds blew

Just a sign to show they were loved

More than they ever knew

And each we all believed in

For to those who crossed their path 

They gave from all their heart 

They never left my side 

Or friends near and far in need

Their only curse was their beautiful mind

That got the better of their deeds

Which shed knowledge upon the living

Yet left only to spread their seeds

These seeds we sow 

Help this world to be in place

When some days can shake 

And remind the waters of its grace

These kind of friends 

Are softer than they look

You have to keep an eye on

When the stars get foggy

And you can't see through their mist

Feel them despite the afar 

As one might just vanish

Deep into life's fragile abyss.
