She once reached for a shimmering star
stretching her heartstrings from afar
traveling the sky-way from here to there
inhaling the promises of the night air
celestial navigator transcending time
penning coordinates in lyrical rhyme
searching for a pilot on silver wings
out in the heavens a songbird sings
on dragon breath adventures flew
seeking paradise somewhere new
holding on to treasured dreams
stretching her heartstrings from afar
traveling the sky-way from here to there
inhaling the promises of the night air
celestial navigator transcending time
penning coordinates in lyrical rhyme
searching for a pilot on silver wings
out in the heavens a songbird sings
on dragon breath adventures flew
seeking paradise somewhere new
holding on to treasured dreams
would dawn bring sunlight's gleam
slumbering under a sturgeon moon
time drifts away in coastal sand dunes
desires of the heart awaken at night
kissing the last remnants of daylight
across the heavens a shooting flame
passion soars, love remains untamed
riding the crest of breaking waves
weary souls rest, tired and brave...
Isn't this just how beautiful love can be...
