The Flame to Your Stars

 

Out in the desert, a sky filled with stars
I sit in the darkness, a fire burns afar
I shine light upon it and realize the view
The stars, the flame, the light – all for you
I think back to the night that we met long ago
A night, rather similar, beneath moonlit glow
Where oft nervous talking gave way to a kiss
Which led to a life that I now truly miss
That evening, its moonlight, its flame and its stars
Came up in our memories, a night truly ours
A whole life before us, little we knew then
Now left but in memory of what might have been
That night you were with me
In ways, you are still
But, residing in Heaven
Twinkling down as God’s will
O’er that spot oh so special
So sacred and ours
Where I feel you with me, my flame to your stars
