The stars are shining bright tonight
On this most memorable evening
I sip the wine in my chalice with delight
As it drips from the end of my chin
I send silent prayers to a silent kingdom above
They will not be heard or answered
This much I have come to know
I keep drinking and spiraling
Being pulled by the fires below
The precarious of peaceful times
I am perched on a fence bordering destruction
Such is the dance I carry out
Under the stars
