They say that the stars will never die
Hanging up in a dark blue sky
But no one knows exactly why
The water bears our tears.
Why do we stand alone and cry?
Standing under a dark blue sky?
While no one knows exactly why
We are lost in a shadow of fear.
And since we know that the stars are there
Bright and silver, high and fair
Why does it matter and why do we care
That the Faithful are falling away?
We are watching the stars in the nightful air
And The Children say they will always be there
So why does it matter and should we care
That nothing else will stay?
We say that the way of the world we see
Is strange and different and far from free
And we don’t understand how they can be
So far away from the rest.
And we cry to the stars that never die
Hanging up in a dark blue sky
But no one knows exactly why
Their way was always best.
The starlit water of a darkling mere
Is bloody with tears that The Children cried
But do we believe that the droplets there
Reflect the tears of a dark blue sky?
The shadowed scent of the final first
Rings in the dark like a burning tree
Where the tears of the sky and the tears of the earth
Mingle together beyond the sea.
Great post 🙂
