************

In the vast expanse of the skies darkened night

Beyond my reach there a twinkling of starlight

And for the sky now do I reach out my hand

To touch this beacon of light from where I stand

 

Within answers to questions I dare not ask

'Tis in a sea of love that I long to bask

And from my heart, I have so much for to give

Receiving is only half enough to live

 

A heart confined unto itself needs to share

To find another heart, someone for to  care

Shine on now you bright, radiant shining star

Luminous starlight of love, I know you are

 

You seem to shine brighter throughout every night

In you my heart sees such a beautiful sight

Someday in person I'll hold you in my arms

For now I'm content being lost in your charms

 

It is in your starlight that I do invest

In my heart there is this vision of Starquest

Guide me in the way still, as wised men were led

Of old, to find Christ lain in low manger-bed
