Edge Of Night

There you are standing out in the deep, dark sky
Shining your cascading light on me like I'm the most marvellous person alive
I find solace in gazing at your different shapes and sizes 
Each showcasing a different beauty the stars could only admire 
When I can't sleep I burden you with my endless stories 
When I can sleep you cast your warm, flowing shadow upon me, until the sun rises 
Your presence ignites in me a feeling of delight 
That nothing can snatch away except the morning light 
It amazes me that you stay the same through all the seasons 
While witnessing humans change for a multitude of reasons 
As dusk arises I wave you goodbye 
Oh, moon the peace I feel with your presence in the edge of night outweighs all my feelings for humans 
So no matter how luminous your eyes 
Never get tired of shining so bright 
I need your friendship in the deep, dark sky
