Upon a distant mountain,
My head was swept away
By the river of light, floating in the constant cosmic ocean.
My head was swept away,
Back to that magnanimous moment.
A star plucked from the sky and placed in my palm.
Gifted by bright eyes; an earnest lover of life.
The magnitude of it brighter than any moon,
Its fire sank into my skin, spun new fate and sparked the beginning of new friends.
Little caravan birdies, bright songs and struggles. A spectrum of what the best we folk here have to offer and often they surprise me still.
Laughter that could shake the darkest of nights with a vibrancy that could only be described in mushroom trips.
Magic casters with bags of tricks to flick phosphor fire into the eyes of brutal grey matter spooks,
The ones that hide in pillows and in lonely ciggarettes.
Family made from bottles of wine, borrowed feathers; boundless flight.
Lovey wonders, starlight disguised as us,
Ribbions of stellar dust.
When I gaze into the creases of my palm,
I still feel its warmth, still see their light,
Forever grateful for the star plucked,
From that magnanimous night.
I just ****** love my friends.
