Night Sky

The sky is so dark tonight
Black velvet wraps itself 'round the heavens
Draping itself among skeletons of trees
Offering shelter in its shadows
Willing to hide all imperfections
A veil of secrecy
An easy way out

Yet in the distance you shine
A single star reaching out
Piercing through the night
Shedding light onto every flaw
Yet calling out to me still
A voice of reassurance
A hopeful way out
