Among the Stars I Landed
I lie alone in an empty bed
thought by thought running through my mind
as the darkness engulfs me
and even through the roof on this house of mine I see the stars
the stars that shine bright in my memory, and
burn deep into my soul
as these thoughts I can't escape
or maybe it is I who won't let them go.
It might not have been long ago,
that I could close my eyes and sleep with no thought at nite,
but it was an empty sleep at best.
The sky was empty and I lay upon the moon
wondering what be brought me by my fate.
and then I looked down and was engulfed by the beauty of what lay before me.
I looked into those eyes and from the emptiness of the moon I jumped.
Among the stars I landed
and even though I might not see those eyes every day
Among those stars I land every time I fall asleep.
