Each one is a gift

Carefully placed

Where the sun no longer shines

Glistening with the softest haze

Illuminating the night

They silently hum to one another

Whispering the sweet nothings of night

Their eyes glimmering with hope

For the promise of a new day

Everything is in its place

As you lie on the itchy brown grass

You point a finger to the sky

And smile

Forever hidden behind the darkness

A sense of comfort melts into your soul

Even when darkness threatens to swallow you whole

The stars are a promise

That one day, you will wake up

And you will learn to let the light in

One day, the birds will sound beautiful again

The sun will rise as it always has

But this time, you won't hide under your pillows

Willing for it to leave

Time will pass by faster

The air becomes easier to breathe

No longer hidden behind the blanket of night

Healing finally finds you.
