A Starship Far Away

Somehow there is a starship far away
And it is hidden in every day
In the midst of meals and courses
In the midst of screaming fights, divorces
And I call that love, it’s a futile road
To ever carry that heavy load
They call life
And every wife
Knows the weight
Of hiding in her husbands hate
As he trudges through the snow
Pretending he is in the know
And I’m taking apart an institution
Because it is in my constitution
And I always wanted to be a newly wed
So I could share somebody’s bed
But that dream has faded
And I’m jaded
At thirty three
Like I swore I’d never be
I’d follow every dream to its resolution
But now it seems the only solution
Is to let it go
And rest and know
That every cloud has its silver lining
And I’m one who is undefining
What it means to be woman and grown
I plunge into the unknown
And come out smelling of roses
I didn’t realise that I chose this
Over a life of steady familiarity
Rooted in the ground like a deep tree
So steady in its being
But there’s something else I’m seeing
In the mists of time
It’s you and I and we are fine
Just as we are
Behind every black hole is a hidden star
