Mar 2012
It was twilight
And the sky was full of stars

The fire was warm against my hands
As I stood for a moment reaching out

The sky was full of stars
The moon was silver on the edge

I heard the forest
As the wind went through it

Walking down the road a ways
It curves back and forth silver on the edge

A turn nine miles down
It was midnight
The sky was full of stars

The gate was broken down
And the graveyard behind
I slipped up like a shadow

Above your grave
An angel stands
With spread out fingers
And upturned hands
Stone eyes that look up forever
In a sky full of stars
And a moon with silver on the edge
