Echoes of Stardust (Palindrome)

children from stardust

travelers of galaxies

across suns of distant light

through softly spoken rings

stir echoes of enchantment

settle lightly down

down lightly settle

enchantment of echoes stir

rings spoken softly through

light distant of suns across

galaxies of travelers

stardust from children

Eternity

From across the void I travel
Oh how has time spread it's wings
Distant are the footsteps of the past
Silence has become my unwitting partner
How will I ever know your touch again?
Have I forgotten how you feel?
Does the fragrance of your life elude me?
Do I stand a chance to hear the soft whisper of your voice?
Languishing through the stars I hear the faint melody
Just over the next horizon I may find you
A little farther and someday this journey will end
On the wings of despair I persevere
Driven by forces tugging on my very soul
Anguished and torn I continue this plight
An eternity I have searched
For an eternity I have loved
For an eternity I will continue on
For an eternity my love shall never wain
I will find you my love, in this eternity.

Endless Quest (Quatern)

Quietly passing through heavy blackness
Soft spoken whispers of an ancient past
Silently gliding in breathless movement
Mysterious creatures abiding within

Centuries abroad these traveling vagabonds
Quietly passing through heavy blackness
Endlessly searching far flung reaches
Unflinching sacrifice of sorrowed souls

Longing for days long since past
Renewing vigor for unspoken dreams
Quietly passing through heavy blackness
Restless in heart of unfailing dedication

Children of light and of stardust
Wayward bound for all eternity
Forever flowing on swift solar winds
Quietly passing through heavy blackness

Across the Sea

The midday sun warms my soul

A gentle breeze stirs tendrils of salt air

Minnows gingerly nip at my toes

High above the lone gull cries

You laughing at me again, silly bird?

Pay no never mind, nothing can dampen this spirit

For you see, I have deep joy in my breast

The return of my love may be today

From across the sea he is long overdue

With all my heart I worry not

For on the day my love departed

The long embrace and soft kiss

Told me of his safe return to my arms

So laugh you silly bird

For on the morrow it may be "Sail Ho!"
