Signs

For days she prayed for a sign, 
until one night, a constellation shaped like a palm, 
poured stardust on her lawn. They glittered
in the moonlight, making the night unusually beautiful. 
She didn’t want the day to come. 
The dark seemed to be romantic for the first time in her life.
The day was extremely loud and bright;
moments she missed her boyfriend’s dark, 
mysterious eyes. 
He was like a walking clear, night sky.

Ah, so mysterious and mystical too, just the way I like them. We can see and feel things in the dark, that daylight takes away sometimes. Well written piece dear Teddy. Thank you for sharing :)
