Shining Song

Voices scream across a red video sunset,
We've left our ocean behind with no regret,
As we join you tonight, ancient mariner,
Show us the way past midnight's open door,
Rising from the world to an uncertain goal,
Show us the way through glistening sunset gold,
All our dreams realized before your new dawn,
On torch lit steps to death and beyond,
Cosmos bound satellite left castles crumbling in the dawn of our youth,
Shining song, lift us out toward vast vistas of truth.

Gee, that last line really has it! So proud and yet sincere, as magnificent
as the grand canyon! Gee, I really like: "Shining song, lift us out toward
vast vistas of truth! That line has heart, and is quite original and fresh!
(Well anyway, for this writer...) "On torch lit steps to death and beyond,"
you have the sensational sense that gives richness to the soul! Write on!

Thank You!

Thank you for your very kind words!!! I'm glad you liked it. When I wrote this, I imagined myself drifting out to the great Beyond. I have had some lucid dreams where I feel I'm drifting up into a clear night sky. The vast vistas of truth are up there for all to see under a star-filled sky. Since I called this 'Shiny Song', perhaps I can make this into a real song and add some chords to it!!! If I do, I will let you know...
