David Taylor - Starlight

Star bright what do you say,
are you still there today?
Or did you depart long times past
and just leave us with your light
to shine on me with clarity
in this night of dreams?

Starlight what is your name,
I know not your fame.
Do you have a number
or grander title like Alpharatz;
how I greatly wonder
from whence you came?

You guide my sights to Andromeda;
such beauty in the merest blur
which on that darkness you confer.
In those spiral arms I rest,
and fly with you to my bed
where this dream unfolds.

Stars in my sight what do you say
shining on me from distance past.
Will you speak to me tonight
of what might come to pass,
in my future days of life;
tell me more about this dream,
foretell the end of all that seems?

Ah You guide me to Andromeda;
such beauty in the merest blur
which on all darkness You confer.
Now in Your spiral arms I rest......
