Bridge of Stars

I stare awestruck at the light
Thought I’d never see it right
Every dream has taken flight

Through walls my sight takes me
Beyond a field slips memory
Traveling again the first degree,
Traveling on the bridge of stars

Have you ever just abandoned ship
Just a sailor catching drift
Weigh anchor and loose your grip
And go, cruising, on the bridge of stars

I’m not alone, don’t know what I’ve done.
To deserve the embrace of the dawn
All my eyes crossing the sun.
Just passing thru, on the bridge of stars

I weep eternal, the child shed.
Something changing in my head
Beaten down by beauty’s dread
Bargain shopping on the bridge of stars

Careless at the speed of thought
Only me I ever fought
Wasn’t long before I’s caught
Searching on this bridge of stars

Slippery as a snake, harmless as a lamb
The tug of war for who I am.
Did you build a wall or shatter a dam.
Fighting, on the bridge of stars.

Leaping galaxies in a wink
Never really stopped to think
I could truly find the brink
Escaping from this bridge of stars

Melted wings don’t catch a breeze
With zero degrees between it and me
There is an awful lot to see
Upon this bridge of stars.

Will the night return my myths
Merely phantoms in the mist.
Read too much in that kiss
Puzzling out this bridge of stars.

Will you wield a hammer, or feel the nail
A lonely search with no crumb trail
Against the grain doesn’t always fail
As you go, learning on this bridge of stars

I’m remembering things I’ve never done,
Got the glory for another’s run.
And had twice my share of fun.
Playing on this Bridge of stars.
