the night

as i look to you
a silver speck in my eye
you are still as the night
there burnished in the sky

surrounded by diamonds
though none so bold
my mind thinks of lost souls
of young and of old

tell me, do you feel it?
the calm in the air
as i fight for each breath
so much i long to share?

you, it is you
i look to this night
for grounding, or comfort
for a reason to fight

do you hear them? i ask
hear them coming aloud?
the voices of angels
ones i said i’d make proud

do you know her? you might
the one who always sings
the one so special
she has golden wings

celestial, heavenly
the power you bear
such ethereal beauty
lets me know she’s still there

just a speck in the universe
are you and am i
but one down on earth
and one in the sky
