A TRIBUTE OF WILD TEARS

Child of the Night Sky

When it aches
And you can’t calm it
When it’s heavy
And you can’t lighten the load
When it breaks
And you can’t hold the pieces together

Roll back your head and gaze at the night sky
Its endless waves of blackest blue
Will sooth the ache
Its sprinkled mass of glittering lights
Will set afire the dullest burdens
Its fluid melding with the distant horizons
Will be large and strong enough to hold back the shattering.
