Third Star

Third Star

Follow me

from the party of my birth

with those thrown out of time

down the turns and bumps of my last road

finding a foul-mouthed angel stealing different time

charging into one last pagan brawl

passing a colorful ferryman and a sci-fi treasure hunting philosopher

by the forest of daydreams become fantasies

over a shortcut cliff to the final bay

where I’ll give up

but never give in

Follow me through

add fires to the stars

among tents filled with joy and deliverance

I’ll raise a morphine toast

As we ride through our choices

over tea and biscuits and a traveling tree

toward a world without me

Follow me down

as I finally finish something

for the first time

and the last

the waves of pain by my own act

I’ll cheat death as I breathe it in

and the tide will take out tragedy

leaving these perfect goodbyes

in the sands of your lives
