Underneath The Night Sky
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's been a while since I saw stars at night.
All the city lights...blind the sky.
It's been a while since the moon was so bright.
Tonight, I just want to dance beneath this light.
Was the wind always this calm?
Well...this breeze surely knows how to charm.
But why do I keep singing sorrow?
Saying, "I may not see tomorrow.
Might even leave this life we borrow."
The stars say, "What do you fear?
Is it death, or the burden that you bear?"
"I fear to be forgotten," I said,
"I fear becoming just a memory... left behind."
"You're unaware of your destiny.
That is what you seek,"
Said the North Star.
"You fear to be forgotten.
That fear doesn't let you sleep."
Moon sang from afar.
It is the path you follow,
That will lead you to your destiny.
You will know what you seek one day,
That day awaits you, just as you do.
Learn to live the gift given to you.
It is called the present.
All your doubts will fade away,
And you will love this life one day.
Astonished and silent I stayed.
Suddenly... no questions remained,
But one, just one question I shall ask...
Were they always this beautiful?
Makes me wonder if this is what they call heaven.
I just wish the sun was late to rise.
Because these stars define paradise.
