Lyrics
For Stanley Kunitz
© 2024 Cindy Prince

“Searching the starry sky
waiting for the world to end.”
Did your world end,
Or are you somewhere in the starry sky-
Inspiring these words falling out on my paper?

I never heard you speak, never
watched you thin lips move with the rhythm.
Yet, “I have walked through many lives”
Touches the deepest part of my soul,
You reach inside me easily, with little
assistance-
tossing them freely across my page.

“O Heart: this is a dream I had, or not a dream.
Lovingly, lovingly, I wept, but my tears did not
rhyme…”
My words dream of being your words
They dream of climbing up the trellis to the
heavens-
Searching the starry sky.
