Navigator

 

I am a ship

sailing

across the stars.

Drifting those

cosmic waves.

I could float for days,

but I need a navigator

to guide the way,

for these seas are vast

and I lost my grip

of the map

some way

back.

 

Could you steer

us to new ground?

A far away star

where hope can be

found flowing across

the planets that surround.

So we could

embark upon a story

lifted from a daydream.

I’ll keep us safe from

the waves and the beasts

from the depths that would

feast on our memories.

I just need

some directions. Please.

 

Could you be the navigator

reading the star chart

that leads to my heart?

It sits on alien sands

awaiting the right pair

of safe hands

to hold it tight.

But if you listen

to the steady echoes

on these stardust nights,

the sounds

of the stars and space

you'll hear its beat

start to race faster

as you get close.
