Gathering Light
Gathering light, stars like seeds
Gathering light, stars like seeds
I am stripped to nearly nothing as I fall into the deep
And my body holds the ashes of the memories that I keep
The light from every star I see is pouring through my skin
I don’t know just where my body stops and where the night begins
Gathering light, stars like seeds
Gathering light, stars like seeds
We are standing in the dayliight of a not so distant star
Like all of life before we came and all after we’re gone
I can lift my eye toward a sky filled with tiny suns
Collect the endless streaming light that comes from every one
Gathering light, stars like seeds
Gathering light, stars like seeds
