Oh heavens

Oh heavens of royal sapphire

By day wash over us

Like blue waves of gentle winds

Flowing through us

At night the sky becomes

The velvet black of mystic comfort

Where solitary hearts beat against the backdrop

Of ten thousand, thousand suns

That warm the skies by day

On countless other worlds

And we are not alone

The first light of dawn

Heralds rebirth

Flowers reach out to kiss the light

Shadows of the night

Flee until the day is done

Twilight

The color of purple

Southern breeze

The crescent moon rises

The crescent city comes to life

Another cycle of life and light

The wash of deep blue waking dreams

Before the setting sun surrenders to moon beams

Chase a shooting star

Across the sky –

Question why?
