The night was warm yet
perfect
Wind danced without a
care,
The sound of serene
silence
Drew my gaze into the air.
A thousand stars were
sprinkled
Like sugar 'cross the sky,
My eyes devoured fully
An ocean black and white
I attempted then to count
them
And give each star a name,
Yet I knew that it was
hopeless
Like scattered drops of
rain.
Some stars shone more than
others,
Their rays shot to my
heart
Illuminating wishes
And pain that rips apart.
Other stars gleamed
faintly,
But still they had their
place
Creating, painting,
placing
An art designed by grace.
The sun rode in his
chariot
Dispelling well-wished
dreams,
Yet I wished the stars
would linger
The tiny, twinkling teams.
But I know they'll gleam
again
In their sparkling little
ships,
Bringing light to life
below them
And a smile to my lips.
Gaze up into the heavens
Of your heart and now
relive;
See your life now brightly
twinkling,
With memories to give.
