Heaven Kissed Me
this night
i sit immersed
in my thoughts
harrowed
and alone
the moon rises
full-bellied
across the sky
the stars glisten
then tuck themselves in
darkened clouds
i recall
hands that tucked me in
beneath covers
that seemed to shield
my childhood fears
i was afraid of the dark
and death alike
but sought comfort
in your arms
no longer afraid
of dark or death
as i became to realize
both are real
and there is
no escape
i feel the wind
brush against me
as the sky
lets out a tear
and it mingles
with my own
upon my cheek
i look towards the sky
see your hands
as they blow kisses
from heaven
towards me
and i find comfort
one more time
