Celestial Wishes
She breaks on the horizon,
Shards of shattered light
Scattered across this earth they roam,
Never feeling life
Only that we mend her
Is what she asks this day
To piece her back together,
Not to look the other way
Catch a ray, a beam, a star,
A fallen teardrop from afar
Illuminating golden rose
From whom our silent beauty flows
Reaching far as you can see
Omnipotent glares deceive
For you shall fall beyond the grass
As soon the crimson hours pass
Low beyond all mortal eyes
You bloom again for foreign skies
After all, you suffer through
To break again and be subdued
I look upon your sobered glory with my deathly stare
I long to feel the blessing, pure and bathing in the air
You, who are so high and full while I am rarely whole
A mere trace of you I follow, I remain here in the cold
Now and then I feel as if my light shall disappear
Be glad for what you have, for some are not so lucky here
Immortal, such as you and I
A captive of the night, I cry
Wishing I possessed such flow as purely as you do
From dusk to dawn I travel on, until I wake anew.
