I See the Stars

Darkness surrounds me, but I am not alone.
I see the stars each one brighter than the another.
A constant light I look for, it leads the way.
I turn around, it's there lighting my way which each step.
Slowly looking over my shoulders, it whispers, I'M HERE.
Don't go, for darkness comes another day, I have no doubts.
I look and YOU are there, I knew, because YOU said so.
My feet are steady and puissant.
A faint light I look for, I turn around and it is there, looking for me.
