Manmade light

That shines so bright

Can't hold a candle to you

Outside I go

To watch the show

As it dances through the sky

Hopefully

You shine for me

A beacon in the darkness

Cloudy sky

You're up so high

That I can never reach you

You seem small

Above us all

You glow so very brightly

Clouds obscure

A subtle cure:

Glory as it shines from you

Then you're back

Splitting through black

The clouds are fractured all around

Like velvet

The softest pet

As if I can touch the sky

Tapestry

They form for me

Appearance and illusion

As if I

Who's meant to die

Knows only for this moment

The form of the sky.
