Northern Stars by Elizabeth Hummel

I know you’re afraid of the dark
And I know you’ve got something to lose
Your heart
And I know that you think of me often
In the dark rain beneath the Northern Starts

And I know that you often imagine
What could be if our worlds like two rivers did embrace
But I hope you can know that I love you
Over this vast time and space

And I know there’s a time to remember
And I know there’s a time to forget
The enchantment
But I think that you and I are together
In the spirit world where memories dance

When you stand in the storm of your hunger
And you raise up your face dripping rain to the sky
See the flashes of light
Feel the thunder
There is love, and there too am I

And this sage burning here in this seashell
Sends its life in a spiral to the midnight air
And though that sweet smoke
Will not reach you
Still my love in that swirl will be there

Well I know you’re afraid of the dark
And I know you’ve got something to lose
Your heart
And I know that you think of me often
In the dark rain beneath the Northern Starts
