I close my eyes

I close my eyes

Before the light dies

It splutters

Just an instant

Of distress from a falling star

Even though the world

Is turning

Magic is my preference

Starlight

Becomes you

The sky is a velvet robe

You wear it is so easily

When did we last

Dance beneath the moon

Were there shadows

Did they embrace

As one

Never to be parted

There is clarity

In the image created

In the brief flare

Of a shooting star

A shower

Of comets falling to earth

In formation

As I open my eyes

I can imagine

In that moment

You are out there

As well as in here.
