and you’ll see the moon,
reflecting off the light of the sun.
you’ll see the blushing sunset,
dancing around the skirt of the night canvas.
you’ll see the pinpricks of stars,
dead for years yet shining just for us.
you’ll see the one spot in the sky,
where the artist never finished painting
the galaxy around the planets.
the milky way runs patterns across your eyes,
and dyes your shadow a silvery glow.
we’re all looking up at the sky,
searching.
for what, we don’t know.
don’t worry,
I’m looking too.

you’ll see the blushing sunset,
dancing around the skirt of the night canvas.
you’ll see the pinpricks of stars,

you’ll see the one spot in the sky,
where the artist never finished painting

the milky way runs patterns across your eyes,
and dyes your shadow a silvery glow.
we’re all looking up at the sky,
searching.
for what, we don’t know.
don’t worry,
I’m looking too.
