"Midnight Sky"
by: Emerald Eyes
Late last night
the moon shone
bright,
bathing the
planet
in soft mako
light.
I lost myself
in the sky so
vast
and started to
wonder
about the past.
What was it like
before my time?
If it's
beautiful—
I'll take it—
embrace
it—
it's mine!
But I'm not
naïve.
I know beauty is
forsaken.
I cannot have
it—
it's already
taken.
The people here
are dead.
They follow
their fears.
And at night—
all alone—
they cry their
tears.
This world is
corruption.
Can you hear
their cries?
It's the people
dying
because of
ShinRa
and all of their
lies.
I wished things
were like they were
before mako
power.
And I wished for
that
until the clock
struck the third hour.
I thought I
could go
far away from
here
away from
Midgar—
away from fear.
So I looked up
at the stars
to see
someone gazing
back at me.
"Is the fighting
over?
I don't know.
I cannot hide—
I've no place to
go!
So help me try
to
set things
right.
Please help me
turn
dark into
light."
Emerald eyes
gazed back at
me.
The girl in the
stars smiled
then spoke to
me.
"Little Girl,
listen to
what I say.
I will take
the pain
away.
I know you're
scared
and so am I,
but we can
get through this
if we only
try."
Then I was
alone.
She had
disappeared.
But her words
lingered,
the meaning
clear.
The hope will
nullify
the hate,
if you only
have
the patience
to wait.
Now every single
star
looks bright:
An angel spoke
to me
last night.
