Starhearken

I am Starhearken and lost

Learning only now the quiet cost

Drowned in star-song wild and deep

Whispers from the corners of my sleep

Foundling heart with haunted eyes

Grasping at the fires where star-song lies

Space-singer I am not

Those bringers who have brought

This curse to me

To look on wings that fly

To know the thing that I

Can never be

I am Starhearken and found

Chained forever to the silent ground

Kindred to the crippled dancer

Hearing star-song yet unmade to answer

Crawling here in quiet shame

While the choir of stars sing out my name

Space-singer I am not

Those bringers who have brought

This curse to me

To look on wings that fly

To know the thing that I

Can never be

I am Starhearken and lost

Learning only now the quiet cost

Drowned in star-song wild and deep

Whispers from the corners of my sleep

Foundling heart with haunted eyes

Grasping at the fires where star-song lies
