Nightly Raptures
There is comfort in knowing
that our backdrop
always has something to celebrate.
Why else would she tease a twinkle,
display her diamonds,
boast her brightest?
She plays her show every night
each one a little different.
Eternity has never missed a screening.
Do the stars see me and mine?
Serve another species?
Light another love?
From my pillow
small sparkles they be
really fiery and passionate.
I wish they would move me
fling me far off,
send me soaring.
Oh sky, swallow me up!
Envelop my soul
and teach me how to know.
Know who I am,
know what it means,
know how to live.
Constant and changing,
I'll follow you
till I've found the truth.
That will be never and forever,
late and later,
always and away.
Even if no one else sees
your wondrous dance
you still capture my heart.
