Lay in the darkness

 

Lay in the darkness,

let it embrace you,

soak up the night,

cast your eyes wide

and see the magic

that conjures

itself upon your skies.

 

The twinkling lights,

in pitch black cries.

The void that sighs

with eternal flight.

The fairy dust that

sprinkles down upon us.

The love that soars

in the echoes of wanderlust.

 

The battles you have waged,

the wars you fought, 

the demons you fight.

All gone to sleep for the night.

Nothing else matters

apart from the canvas above your eyes.

Watch as those twin comets glide,

the meteors that shower the sky,

watch the darkened blues

become a rainbow of colours new,

as you attune to the frequencies

that normally avoid you.

 

Set your skies ablaze,

let your mind read the waves.

Let your eyes see the glaze

of all new worlds

that are growing around you.

Let the glow

slowly sleep

inside you.

 

Share this moment

With the hearts

that beat nearest.

The ones you hold dearest.

Let them see this moment

of fragility in a world of glass.

For if you open your arms wide

they would climb inside,

just to hold you tighter.

 

Because love isn’t about class,

It isn’t like blood or water,

It isn’t like religion, it holds no mass. 

It is the universe holding your hand,

through the fingers of another,

and knowing that they also feel

the flutter of the butterfly wings of time.

 

So, lay in the darkness with me,

let us look and see

the vastness of eternity.

For our time is fleeting

and whilst hearts are beating

I want to share

the universe with you.

Let us explore the heavens above,

whilst we explore

the thoughts that flow

in the rivers of consciousness.
