In the silence of the night
The stars are all that fill our sight,
And with the buffet of the wind,
We rise to where the air is thinned.
The sky is bright,
A lonely sight,
Though gentle on your skin.
In the lake reflected back,
It’s better left alone,
But if not given time to heal,
The scars are set in stone.
The sun takes oh so long to rise,
When you’ve just watched it set,
You cannot wait for it to end,
But it’s not over yet.
You have to look harder sometimes,
When less of them appear-
But in the silence of the night,
The stars aren’t there to hear.
And though the sun may go away
For just a little while,
So many suns cut through the dark
Just to make you smile!
See stars are bigger than you think,
And that’s where you both have a link-
You can be strong,
Keep moving on,
Each moment’s just a blink.
