Against the dark of night
These lights shimmer, glimmer
Like Christmas lights and far
Off candles. The trees shiver
Cold in the breeze, they shake.
I sit at the top of this cliff
Shaking as well. I pull
My eyes shut tight, they're closed,
They swell, they ache, they're full
Of tears and promises
You once made.
My tired body trembles,
I can open my eyes
They're one with the lights now.
