Twinkling in the mid-night velvet, <br />Sparkling pricks of light. <br />Hanging in the empty abyss <br />Of empty outer space. <br /> <br />I look up into the star-lit sky, <br />I look up into hope. <br />I wish one day we’ll meet again, <br />And wish you’d never gone. <br /> <br />The ancestors of thousands sit <br />Watching over Earth. <br />The pearly gates of heaven <br />Sparkling in their eyes. <br /> <br />I lie here watching late at night, <br />The stars that you see too. <br />And know that you are missing me, <br />As I am missing you. <br /> <br />Glistening on a navy blanket, <br />Flickering shafts of hope. <br />I stare into the starry night sky, <br />And know that you are home.<br /><br />Thistle Wargul<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/starry-night-sky/
