You see the cloud over there above the mountains? That's my pillow of night. No stars are reaching for it and its all dark around it. All those stars in the black sky of velvet are little soft lights of happiness in a dark world. I feel as if I could lean over the balcony and pull the black velvet sky towards me with all it's beautiful lights and lay it down before me so I could touch those soft lights and feel their gentle heat warm my cold hands. The night will be warm and soft as it protects me from the coming nightmare day. Be my friend and protector please.
