STARS IN THE SKY
I'm standing on the shore and high above
The roar of waves and rustling of the trees,
A light is shining in the darkening sky,
While sun is drowning in its warmest glow.
I look up waiting for the one to show,
Its magic glow will warm my frozen heart.
That special light that sun nor moon can bring.
A sparkle jumping to my inner self.
I aim my wish up high and from my chest
My heart pleads to my shooting star above:
"Lift me up high and make me see from far
How you reach out and set my being free."
My white star softly strokes my hair and smiles,
While from his hands the moondust spreads around.
My bright star lifts the darkness from my soul,
In several myriad coloured specs of light.
And in his hands I beam and come alive,
Accept the dark night just for what it is:
A blanket, warm, to keep the light inside,
Embracing starlight deep within myself.
