The stars are lonely tonight
because I am the only one
to see them shine right now.
The cold and dark air
sits still and calm as time.
It moves slower with every
single breath I take
The air is thick right now
because of the pain I feel
is taken in by the sky.
Every twinkle of a star
is a tear on a child's pillow
and every twinkle we don't see
is a tear that's kept inside.
If I could show the world
the beauty of the stars,
no man would sleep during the night,
and no child would cry
because the light would bring some joy
to brow-beaten faces.
But yet, I'm still here
Alone...
It breaks my heart to see
the night like this.
I've loved the darkened sky so long.
It pains me to be alone,
in seeing the saddened beauty
the night holds.
I'll cry right beside her though.
Just as I've done a million times...
a million times before

Denali...
         This is a beautifully written poem,
     and very tender. I'm glad I had a chance
