Astral Surprises

if you are alone one of these nights
and drinking beer thinking you are
not loved have never been loved
will never be loved
if you are alone some deep dark night
and don't know
and don't remember
and can't imagine
I am sending this wish your way
I am hoping that my desire will
signal your subconscious
and your shining gleaming dreaming soul
will come out to play
and find me
on the sparkling eternal astral plane
and there will be so many surprises there
you won't believe your eyes
you won't believe the beauty
of the song
as we spin 'round & 'round
letting pretty shimmery feelings
take over and hold logic hostage
and you will find my whimpering dreams there
and my tears
like jewels
more in number than the stars
and the purpose for them is this:
they illuminate the darkest dimensions
of your heart
and for one rip in the fabric of time
you will be there
with me
and you will know
that you were loved
and are loved
and will be loved
forever and ever and ever
amen.
