Stars

Stars

Night time is always silent,

Now that you’re no longer hear.

But I have company enough,

My twinkling blanket covers all.

A back drop of splendid wonder,

Has the power to undo me.

From when I’d fear my ending,

Coming upon without your love.

How many myriad the count,

Of where you rest above.

Lost for all of my eternity,

Sprinkled upon Jupiter, new life.

Or maybe ‘yon far reaches,

Way beyond my naked eye.

Only feeling, never again seeing,

That light of your blessedness.

My command of comprehension,

Is lost ‘neath painful memories.

Seeing you gone, crushed, beaten,

And bloodied, tortured by men.

Who will heal me now?

For surely I have lost my will.

Such a cruelty an undeservedness,

Leaves me smarting to avenge you.

But forgiveness comes to right,

Though it is a two edge sword.

It won’t recover all I lost,

Yet it could unleash an end.

And now I pray to see,

Just what you’d have me do.

Should I become part of the chorus,

And shine brightly, just like you?
