The Stars Have Changed

 



A star went out down here
The wind has lost some strength
The earth is a little looser 
and there is one less storyteller 
around our fireside

There is a new star up there 
pulsing with the echo of his voice 
with a brightness that commands attention 
and burning with the power of our memories 
of him

Will you…

 


Will you…
Beware the bottomless pits inside
even when its songs are addictive
Branches and brambles pick at your mind
ravings and whispers circle
abysses below
voids above
event horizons give chase
