Western star I set for hours in the darkness spellbound you held my gaze The trees and night darkness completed the picture Your mind races ever higher quiet etude the engulfing blaze Silver light breaks all captivity you to are suspended held amidst glories brow Within darkness you are the cloaked sojourner destination improbability Somewhere in the mix of thoughts for a brief time you are free of all concerns All that exists is the span of distance in all this voluminous emptiness lies compatibility Measureless void you wash in great waves against my enthralled soul You give abundant texture to the wall and windows that I view this indispensible wonder Because I know you seem localized but half of the earth at least can be held in the same awe The earth when viewed aright by going to the edge and then stepping into space unchained bounder Do you affix your very being to channels that gird the heavens go beyond be spellbound at long last right living You’re tenuous diminished life will catch space in the raw your life will begin at long last to thaw Your views will startle and alarm those not yet up to the throttled speed found at every level life should be lived Adventures have for millennia shown the way over and beyond the darkest expanses victory without flaw Table your defeated hand speak with dignified power as you break the common tide thou conquer who envisions stars as friends

Western star
Western star I set for hours in the darkness spellbound you held my gaze The trees and night darkness completed the picture Your mind races ever higher quiet etude the engulfing blaze Silver light breaks all captivity you to are suspended held amidst glories brow Within darkness you are the cloaked sojourner destination improbability Somewhere in the mix of thoughts for a brief time you are free of all concerns All that exists is the span of distance in all this voluminous emptiness lies compatibility Measureless void you wash in great waves against my enthralled soul You give abundant texture to the wall and windows that I view this indispensible wonder Because I know you seem localized but half of the earth at least can be held in the same awe The earth when viewed aright by going to the edge and then stepping into space unchained bounder Do you affix your very being to channels that gird the heavens go beyond be spellbound at long last right living You’re tenuous diminished life will catch space in the raw your life will begin at long last to thaw Your views will startle and alarm those not yet up to the throttled speed found at every level life should be lived Adventures have for millennia shown the way over and beyond the darkest expanses victory without flaw Table your defeated hand speak with dignified power as you break the common tide thou conquer who envisions stars as friends
