In the darkness of night
'mongst the clouds in the sky
Sparkling lights twinkle
catching ones eye
Tiny candles
Flashing lights
Majestic beauty
Wondrous sight
A magic appeal,
A delightful attraction
To touch those lights, the instant reaction.
We've all heard the saying
To "reach for the stars"
Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Mars
A heavenly choirs harmonious tune
conducted by the light of the moon
Open your heart,
Hold the moon in your hand.
Conduct the choir from where you stand.
Silent music to touch your soul.
Illuminating and making you whole.
Tranquility in the glow of the night.
An inner flame, it does ignite.
A yearning desire to be one with the light
It stirs the emotions with sheer delight
Have you ever wondered why
We cannot reach the lights in the sky?
They have the power to inspire
us to set our vision higher.
What are the lessons that they teach?
Are stars impossible to reach ?
I meditate upon these things
until the night the dawning brings
Stars disappear
The moon's out of sight
The rays of sun bask me in light
and suddenly I clearly see
that I can't touch the light
but the light touched me.
