flying high
under the night sky
sighing every mile
to the beauty of
the night light
and the stars so bright
resembling sparkling diamonds
and the beauty of might
the illusions they create
they're here to stay
for the wanderers
to lead the way
for the more we wander
the closer we get
to the truth of us
the truth of regret

for this universe
holds within itself
the secrets of the forgotten
so i humbly ask
the cosmos
if to birth
and hold the secrets of
another forgotten soul
would be too much to ask

it declaimed
you're loved now
but for how long
for the peace of oblivion
has a high price
all your secrets
they won't suffice

so i pack up my thoughts
to fathom another day
i pull myself back up
to go amble another way
towards another way i fly
under the night sky
crying a silent cry
sighing every mile
