Those Above Us

Lay on the fresh grass Look up at the deep dark skies The window to infinity And gaze at the twinkling stars As the world you know is cast into the shadows One by one they slowly appear A strong beacon of hope and light At the darkest of times But those celestial crystals never truly disappear When the sun outshines them Or the majestic clouds overshadow They are only hidden, they still watch down on us from above When we don't need them We often forget them But when the darkness threatens to envelope us whole The stars are there to remind us of those lighter moments And those memories in the darkness are enough to survive the night Because the stars symbolize so much more than constellations They symbolize hope, strength And above all else a reliability only outmatched by the divine Himself.
