A Pool Beneath the Stars

Love is not a distance

A forgiving

Nor a bride

It's a dress

You slip

Inside

And flaunt amongst the angels

And fall for like a fool when you

Catch a glimpse of your reflection

In their eyes

As a pool beneath the stars reflects the heavens

In your mind is a pool beneath the stars

And as a pool beneath the stars reflects the heavens

So in your mind

You know how eyes creep up and find one another

Like two coins in a bowl

You know how love divides without halving

As between two souls

You know the distance is the asking

As a flock that from slaughter grows

As well that deepens as it drains

Taking the empty hand

As a pool beneath the stars reflects the heavens

In your mind is a pool beneath the stars

And as a pool beneath the stars reflects the heavens

So in your mind

So in your mind

So in your mind

It's all in your mind
