    the stars, the stars, stars, stars..
    are awake
    tsangpo river gorges
    wind like teasing spirals
    eroded from my regenerative nucleous

    the stars, stars, stars, stars...
    are awake

    tapping at the delta-bands
    so they may emit their lethal text
    finding minute finger-holds on
    the edge of galaxies
    as i climb gossamer tendrils
    delicate shifting of densities

    ...(if) sets in the west...

    the stars, stars, stars, stars
    are awake
    returning to chapped hands
    a crusty crab and horsehead nebula
    near my tear ducts
    flicked away into the breeze
    as i see strangers,
    friends,
    and kin,
    all latent acorns from Great Oak
    embracing greetings
    embalming the acorn
    with rich peat and moisture
    ...it always rises again in the east

    waking from pine-needle beds to journey
    on my knees on river bank
    alone
    crying joys
    join the streamflow
    hurt to heal
    running my hands deep into the silty loam
    forearms covered
    petting roots from emergent species of trees
    the futuristic, ancient pre-cursors
    of alien symbology
    dendritic recursive fractal growths
    as mother river, and sister lightning,
    when they made lysergic choices
    but this
    much more
    stimulated from the pineal gland
    remanents of nectar
    linguistics of transcendental signification
    absolute meaning
    universal referentiality

    alas
    will till these fields with love
    'till I shed myself
    into the stars..

    ..are awake

    wow. i mean wow. It's actually kinda spooky because i'm listening to some major prog-rock music and that's what that song reminds me of, some major prog-rock jamming. Your song is outta-site, my man.

    The stars are awake, indeed, and you are that.
    We are all much brighter than we allow ourselves to see,
    lest we speak of afterglow across the light-years.
