Alone in the night
The brightness shines throughout the stars, 
 
 standing out against the dark. 
 
 The softly blowing wind, 
 
 rustles the grass as I lay on my back, gazing up at the sky. 
 
  I gaze around me at the silent night. 
 
 Shadows are casted off of tree’s, I am alone. 
 
 
 Tonight I am alone, 
 
 no one to comfort me, only the stars. 
 
 The still air of the night 
 
 seems to go on forever in the dark. 
 
 As I gaze up at the sky, 
 
 the whisper in my ear is that of the wind. 
 
 
 The gentle touch of the wind,
 
 Why do I feel so alone? 
 
 I look up at the sky 
 
 to search for your face, hidden among the stars, 
 
 shining out amongst the dark
 
 but there is nothing, only the night. 
 
 
 I feel helpless as I think about the night. 
 
 Brushing against my cheek in an attempt to comfort me is the wind
 
 but the remainder of the dark 
 
  reminds me, I am alone. 
 
 The brightly shining stars 
 
 bring me pain as I look to the sky
 
 
 The never ending sky 
 
 seems like the night.
 
 The specialness of the stars
 
 has left and along with it the wind. 
 
 Now I am truly alone
 
 and I feel as if I am being swallowed by the dark 
 
 
 I am reminded that I lost you, all I see is the dark.
 
 Now I can see your face in the sky,
 
 I am not alone. 
 
 I have been led to you by the night.
 
 Once again I feel the comfort of the wind 
 
 and the beauty of the stars. 
 
 
 The stars overcome the dark.
 
 I am comforted, knowing that you are with me throughout the wind and sky. 
 
 The night has made me realize I am not alone.
