Fly noble falcon, soar among the stars Fly to him who holds my heart this night Let the winds guide you in your flight To the safety of his arms Shelter him with night's protective cover Protect his life and guide his way So that he may see the light of day And come to know the face of I, his lover Fly noble falcon, sing of this lonely Star Maiden Tell him the one whose heart he now holds Was once sad, hard, and cold And very much with bitterness laden But now noble Falcon, sing to him of my love A love as far reaching as the galaxy And as deep and silent as the sea With his heart I will always be, keeping him safe from above. ------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |
