in the night . . .

[Bill]

in the night . . .

 

i wrote a letter to the Universe

to express any and all my cares

when i looked upon the Heavens

i somehow lost my fears

a feeling of wonder embraced me

in the flowing of my tears

and the pittance of my troubles

have somehow disappeared

 

i spoke to the twinkling Stars

my Dreams within my night

and somehow in the deep darkness

i saw their twinkling light

that hope resides forever

where ever there is plight

and they spoke right back to me

and my own twinkle became bright

 

there is such a joy in living

that is what i believe

for all the things i wish for

are up to me to conceive

and upon that note i go forward

for all can be achieved

my anguish was taken by the night

and my soul is now relieved

 

for in the Stars of Heaven

i see all i can be

the beauty, Joy and light of life

is in the love in me

i no longer sense the bondage

my thoughts roam in the free

for in the night sky of the heavens

there are Stars in me i see

 

in the night . . .
