I See Myself in You

While the whole world lies in deep sleep,

I look up, tracing the universe bit by bit;

Like a pirate holding a treasure map

Navigating constellations in the dark.

 

The moon slips out from behind a cloud,

Revealing her face, she sighs aloud.

I catch a glimpse of her emotion;

Her quiet sorrow, her soft expression.

 

A purple mist begins to wrap her glow,

And suddenly, tears start to flow.

With all the weight and sadness you carry,

This feeling turns into a sanctuary. 

 

As the sky begins its transformation,

I breathe and whisper my fascination.

It may sound silly, but it is true;

I feel for you; I see myself in you.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This came from a moment of stillness; when I looked up and felt like I wasn’t the only one carrying something unspoken.
