Heavenly Bodies

Am I a simple thing beholding the heavenly bodies?

When I look at the night sky

I see God's throne in my mind's eye

Do the heavenly bodies set their gaze upon me too?

I am a meek tool made of flesh through and through

Does Venus speak of my empty soul?

Does Mercury judge me for my loss of control?

Do the heavenly bodies behold my form?

A curious boy living in a confusing age

Does God up above look down at my face

Do the heavenly bodies see me with grace

Are the stars the angels guarding the gates of Paradise?

Maybe one day when my eyes are weary

Maybe one day when my muscles are tearing Maybe one day when my thoughts have stilled

The stars will guide me to be with the heavenly bodies

Or maybe my body was not meant to be light

And maybe the heavenly bodies do not look down

And maybe my mind will find rest

When I have seen my last sunset
