Ion
The Silent Stars
Whilst rivers cease and worlds collide
Silence fills the midnight sky
Detachment heals the distant guile
As shadows flee an everlasting light
As I reconcile with you
The tainted path is so far away from here
Across the stream, Decembers child
This tranquil place where murmers die
The frigid air, a twilight kiss
The deepest peace, the quiet earth combine
As I live this time for you
The stillness calls from far away
A voiceless choir, sublime
We sit and watch the silent stars go by
As heavenly sounds resound around
Peace is ours, and perfection
For we are mute, deep in the heart of the earth
Absorbed in the absolute
Deep in thought we return to the stars
Whilst our weary bodies converge to the source
We learn to witness further beyond ourselves
Now and forever
As I live this night with you
Our pointless fears are washed away
Your gracious hand o'er mine
As we sit and watch the silent stars go by
