The Lights In the Midnight

The stars brilliantly shine in the sky
As I hoped
That you and I
Would someday.

We both prefer the twinkling lights
To the lofty, confident moon
But I can’t stand this ever-present night
Which has settled around me.

The orbs of brightness are fading
Into the blackness of the universe
As I am waiting
For the return of the sun.

I try to rest my head
Wish for peaceful sleep
Instead I toss and turn in bed
Hoping for a message that may never come.

Finally my dreams find me
And I am whisked away
To a place where hope grows in the trees
Where love swims in the seas.

To a mystical, fairytale land
Where days would never end
And we would run hand in hand
Towards the glowing sunset.

To a faraway island where the lights in the midnight shine for us
And time together could actually be enough.
