In the eye of the Night

As I look up towards the sky

I dream through rose colored eyes

the Stars falling in the wind

the Moon trying to swim

and the deep Navy holding it in.

I breathe as if it is my last

hoping it will save me from my past

everything that was done in haste

I lay down to calm my pace.

the Navy waves,

twinkling the lights

giving depth to the plate.

I breathe as if it is the first

as I recall my earth

painted purple,

brown,

and, blue.

No one knows

the earth like I do.

As it prays for

the navy waves to end.

for the lights to fade into the light.

and for the plate to become a pearl.

I breathe as I am present,

no longer my last or the first.

I am here and now,

no longer in haste

or covered in the eye of the night.

I am freed.
