Beyond the Stars

Under the light of the pale, moonlit sky, I dreamt of you. I saw a secret place for just me and you hidden just beyond the stars. A tiny cottage nestled in trees of evergreen. Here we fall asleep listening to the sounds of all creation.

The dark of night is no longer plagued by monsters and the light of day holds no expectation. Here we live moment by moment, flowing along with the sound of a babbling brook.

Within this secret place, we find our peace. Here we are no longer the sum of what life makes us out to be. Here we are simply us, happy and free.

Beneath the stars I find myself, looking up, leaving my dream once again. Still I remember, that place of peace. I hold it within my heart, until it’s very last beat.

Then I’ll escape once again, to that secret place just beyond the stars. There I’ll be waiting for you, hidden in leaves of evergreen.
