The day went by and the night came forth
And with none whatsoever a blink
I stared at the sky and I dared to think:
“My Star is brighter and shinier too”
Then I felt so fearless
And deep within my heart
I wished the Sun was nameless
So I could name it after you
As I laid there crouching
Knees widely spread, gauging
The immensity of the darkening blue,
In the dirt with a handful of clay
Suddenly came a thought:
“If I could sculpt Love
In the shape of a woman
I would be sculpting you”
No matter what I thought or said
Or how many thousand flowers
I’ve picked and brought in my head
I still had many questions:
“How can I reach the sky
to grasp the prettiest star?”
“How can I hold you tight
If the ground is way too far?”
And by God I swear, I felt such fright
While standing there for hours
Breathing those new sensations
