Soft Black Stars
Little children snuggle under soft black starsAnd if you look into their eyes soft black starsDeliver them from the book and the letter and the wordAnd let them read the silence bathed in soft black starsLet them trace the raindrops under soft black starsLet them follow whispers and scare away the nightLet them kiss the featherbreath of soft black starsAnd let them ride their horses licked by the wind and the snowAnd tip-toe into twilight where we all one day will goCaressed with tenderness and with no fear at allTheir faces shining river gold brushed by soft black starsAnd angels' wings shall soothe their caresAnd all the birds shall sing at dawnBlessed and wet with joyYou and i will meet one dayUnder the night sky lit by soft black stars
