Once there was a skylight

It led to a yawning sky, 

Revealing flecks of luminous light as the time stretched on

Night, a watchful companion,

To the girl gazing at the moon 

Her dreams greeted the farthest star in their journey to the unknown 

Thoughts lost to the fuzzy corners of memory floated through the skylight,

Carried by the breeze, peaceful in its tranquility

The girl would revel in the rare beauty of the night, 

keeping her company until the dew shone on her face,

Waiting till the sky fell again to become anew 

Somewhere along her journey in the day, she lost the key to the skylight

And now the world is forever closed to her

Leaving only the lingering sense of having lost something dear to her
