Opal Sky

The sky tonight is like an opal
Its colors swirling together
Separated by flecks of golden stars
Never blending, never ending

And if it were up to me
I'd pluck down this precious stone
That somehow escaped gravity
And give it to you

Because the moon is simply not enough to keep you by my side
