There is comfort in knowing

that our backdrop

always has something to celebrate.

 

Why else would she tease a twinkle,

display her diamonds,

boast her brightest?

 

She plays her show every night

each one a little different.

Eternity has never missed a screening.

 

Do the stars see me and mine?

Serve another species?

Light another love?

 

From my pillow

small sparkles they be

really fiery and passionate.

 

I wish they would move me

fling me far off,

send me soaring.

 

 

Oh sky, swallow me up!

Envelop my soul

and teach me how to know.

 

Know who I am,

know what it means,

know how to live.

 

Constant and changing,

I'll follow you

till I've found the truth.

 

That will be never and forever,

late and later,

always and away.

 

Even if no one else sees

your wondrous dance

you still capture my heart.

I gaze up at the stars at night and can't help but be emotional.
