Stellar Serenades

 
lyrics by shaun lawton 
 

we're all hyper-linked in ways we only discover 
on the days its proven 
which only goes to show thought is a contact sport 
we forget about after

we finish playing and that thing that you do 
when you talk to yourself 
 reasoning it all out that's not thinking at all 
it's just the shimmering 

the stellar serenades  slowly fall into position
  under the canticles of light we are hypnotized
  caught up in this electromagnetic composition 
  the connections that we make help us realize

wake of confetti like echoes sent from the contact 
with thought itself 
something that usually takes more than one mind 
to even begin to see

more clearly its rippling outline 
through the refractions displaced 
as it appears to be only to vanish 
before the next event horizon 

the stellar serenades  slowly fall into position
  under the canticles of light we are hypnotized
  caught up in this electromagnetic composition 
  the connections that we make help us realize

   the mirage we each represent 
in this phantom procession 
   flying the rippling banners of our faces  
we know the same wind

has carried each of our voices away 
so we collect the seashells of each other's echoes 
and string them into symphonies that become 
our lullabies to help us get to sleep at night 

   the stellar serenades have fallen into position
  under the canticles of light we are hypnotized
  caught up in this electromagnetic composition 
  making the connections helps us realize
