You Delight A Satellite

I got your favorite planet in my pocket

But it ain't the one you pay attention to.

I got the one that has the hue of a large chunk of amber

hold it to yours and you can see the frozen past

You keep staring at the ones that some deem official

while I keep the chiseled chunks of fallen stars

and once bright meteorites

I use a telescope in measured sight

you gravitate to moissanite

It's the measure of who you are

identify your fallen star

Pieces

Sometimes when you pick them up the dust crumbles thru your fingertips

and reform earth

even though they ain't from here.

Keep them watchful eyes to corner skies

to monitor the rise and fall of moonbeams and ultra violet rays

as I manage the dust

It's so hard to do that under the warming vibes of the sun

and the map yielding light of the one satellite 

you've always held dear

I have those now to watch over and guide me.

You delight a satellite

and dance within its vaunted rays

every day I make my way

by the light, your constant play

I close my eyes and feel your rays

when darkness falls you pave my way

Your light a constant warmth for me,

The only way I truly see.
