island of stars

he is waiting
on an island of stars
the dark does not betray him
luminous arc
of the milky way
i see
from this place
where no one lives
but me

he is walking
an island of stars
way above
the curvature of
the earth
his footsteps fall

the dark does not betray him
luminous arc
of the milky way
i see
from this place
where no one lives
but me

planets strung
from invisible string
dangling from the fingers
of sky
jet and purple
you know
how to hold on
and not to let go

he is calling
from an island of stars
i can hear his magic
ringing over
forests rivers valleys

the dark will not betray him
luminous arc
of the milky way
i see
from this place
where no one lives
but
me
