Night Sky

I look up to the stars

And they call to me,

Softly and sweetly.

They tell me

I am not alone.

Why moon, pale moon

Do you mock me so,

Shining your white face

Upon me as you stare

Coldly at me here on Earth?

But I am not mad.

I know that I will pass

Quietly, under your soft glow,

And your faithful stars

Will lead me ever home

To where I belong.

Sing to me, sweet sky

And show me

That you do not fade.

I wait with you.
