You Don'T Have To Be Awake To Feel the Night Change

We meet, we talk, but I don’t know you. Your eyes a flash of blue, bits of sky. I don’t know how it came to be yours, the sky. Do you have magic, that you command the very elements to your being? I would like to be yours as well. In the night’s deep quiet we will lie awake and you will rename the stars, build new constellations to fill me with awe and reverence. How safe I will feel in your arms, by your side, whenever you say my name. The monsters will cower, dazzled by your sky eyes shining so bright in the night. As our seasons turn, will your skies change? Inspired by New Year’s Morning by Elmaz Abi-Nadir
