Oh galaxy light
This moon of ours
Don't let me forget
To count all these stars
Oh merciful nightfall
Forgive me alone
Oh darkness in the heavens
Am I on my own?
And if I should die here tonight
I hope on you
There be no struggle nor fight
Oh merciful life
Forgive me again
For now I am here
And will never be slain
My heart is pure
My soul yours to keep
And I'm lost in the stars
In this darkness so deep.

This was good.  I'm very picky about the night sky and the moon, stars, and such and usually I don't like what other people say about them.  I did like this though.

It reminded me of a bedtime prayer though or a little bedtime rhyme.  Not sure if that's the intent you were going for but I really think my little sister would love to have this read to her at night.

P.S. I hope you don't find that insulting.  I've told someone else that I thought their poem would make a good bedtime story and they almost bit my head off.

OMG CRAZY

You won't believe it but... THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING!!!

You know that poem thing, "And if I die before I wake..." well it always scared me to say that before I went to bed... so last night I couldn't sleep and I wrote this instead!!!

I'm not easily insulted... but thanks for caring! And thanks for responding.

Yet another well written piece! I like the flow of this one a lot it all just kinda fits together you know? Anyways I like the thoughts that it put in my head, very peaceful, joyful almost..well done!

People always ask me why I don't look toward my future I tell them to many interesting things are happening today.
