Dark and twinkling
Only for a second
But in that moment
So radiant and bright

Somehow more brightly coloured
An elegant display
Than anything of the day
On the land or in the sky

Books say just a rock
Floating in the vastness
But I know better
You spoke to me that night

It’s everything I’ve sought
But haven’t given name
The song I remember
But can’t quite sing along

Come back to me
My shooting star
I need you now
To illuminate my life

You’re my flickering hope
Straining in the wind
When you come down to meet me
Don’t crumble coming in.

They say that space
Is simply nothing
The heavens
An expansive void

They must be wrong
For nothing that is nothing
Could make me feel so small
Surely the sky is full

When I see your eyes
Orbiting my gaze
I look into the heavens
And feel a void within.

If you’ll be the moon
I’ll be the tide
If you are orion
I’ll be your belt

Ebbing and flowing
With your motion
Coming and going
Like the cycle of seasons
