As lonely as a twilight sky
That sees the sunlight slowly die,
I almost learn to say goodbye-
Darkness.
You sink so far and out of view
And though I try to follow you,
Your light recedes into the blue-
Empty.
I make an air balloon of stars
To lift you high and take you far
Where you’ll discover who you are-
Safe.
And even though you burn the hands
That hold you up above the land,
I swear I’ll always understand-
Always.
Knowing that you’ll rise again,
I steady stand as loyal friend
And we will shine and warm and mend-
Together.
