For Jason - STARS IN THE SKY

For Jason - STARS IN HE SKY

I'm standing on the shore and high above

The roar of waves and rustling of the trees

A light is shining in the darkening sky

While sun is drowning in its warmest glow

I look up waiting for the one to show

Its magic glow will warm my frozen heart

That special light that sun nor moon can bring

A sparkle jumping to my inner self

I aim my wish up high and from my chest

My heart pleads to my shining star above

Lift me up high and make me see from far

How you reach out and set my being free

My white star softly strokes my hair and smiles

While from his hands the moondust spreads around

My bright star lifts the darkness from my soul

In a myriad coloured specs of light

And in his hands I beam and come alive

Accept the dark night just for what it is:

A blanket warm to keep the light inside

Embracing starlight deep within myself
