A shimmer in the sky

I look up upon the glittering stars that shine above

The lights fade one by one til there are none

I set my gaze

on the pounding waves of the rumbling ocean

As they wash ashore they start to cease

until there is no more

I gently close my eyes

Take in a deep breath. Two

Play a somewhat happy scene

in my mind that's wide awake

Slowly as the gentle breeze

of the sea brushes upon my face

I think to myself

what a wonderful way this is

to end a tiring day

Welcome to the adult world

that's what the whispers say

This is the world we live in

This is life we go through

This is how it comes

And this is how it goes

Worry not my child

I pray that all is good

With a glimmer of hope from deep within

And a touch of magic from high above
