Each man and woman is a star David Zindell
The parchment of the soul
A galloping foal
From dawn to lesser light
The phoenix game takes flight
Field of restless view
Unobscured and true
If light shall ever be lit
Space can never quit
Starshine of millennium years
Flow the river of sacred tears
Placement of the sound of dawn
Arranging of night's carrion
Lunar loves
Solar sighs
Universe's lullabies
In the middle of the starshine
I will see the praise is mine
For hours of ages done
Every second has a sun
All the meanings have a day
Months of starshine glide away
Garish golden starshine
Ever be it thine
Through time and pain akin
Let the graven course begin
Starshine of millennium years
Flow the river of sacred tears
Placement of the sound of dawn
Arranging of night's carrion
Radiance feeble
Dimness bright
Galaxies shall bid thee right
In the middle of the starshine
I can see the praise is mine
