The dark horse
Rides hard
Dappled and w

Over the night sky
Tonight from my tears.
His fur is
Velvet and black,
A shiver on

Flowing on clouds
His mane and tail
Foam the horizon.
And as he gallops
Across the midnight blue
The twinkling s

Spark and light
Silk and stardust
Trails in his wake.

Though my soul has set
In this nightfall,
Hollow and alone,
Now that you
Are here no l

I look above the
Dark horse skyline
To the dust of light
Shimmering and glinting
And see every little
Star a m

Precious and dear.

Infinite stars,
Infinite memories.
Each more beautiful
and radiant than the last,
Just like y

Though your light has faded
you will glow immortal
in my heart and in the sky
with faith

Your spirit is now

the flank of the dark horse

His stars connect us.
Keep shining for me.
Above and over me.
