Sea of Black

There are plenty of fish in the sea.

But I know you'll never belong there.

The tides are too restless, the currents too deep,

For a light that was never meant to sink.

 

You belong to the vast and velvety night.

A celestial wonder in a sea of black above.

While others wonder, lost in the dusk,

I only have to look up to find my way back.

 

The stars may crowd heaven.

Each one a silver spark.

But they are merely the backdrop.

For that one star that captures my gaze.

 

They shine with a beauty that is ancient.

Yet my gaze remains fixed on you.

For you are the moon among flickering candles.

The only light that is constant and true.
