There are moments when we all feel a little lost, a little alone, a little in dark. We have this feeling that someone will come and rescue us, that someone will be that star shining through the break in clouds and guide us home. What we don’t realise it that no one but ourselves can rescue us and be that star shining through the break in clouds.
July night
Staring at skies
Clouds o’er my head
Clouds under my feet
Cold air caressing me as I breathe
Maybe I’m not standing in dark
Darkness seems to begin at my toes
And continue as far as infinity
As the I start to become darkness
And darkness starts to become me,
I spot a star shining through the break in clouds
Something like music tickles my ears
As I realise that it’s singing its out aloud
I wonder if it’s someone who will save me
I wonder if it’s as lonely as I
I wonder if it’s shedding tears
I wonder if I should go closer and ask
I wonder if it’s shy
Maybe all I that I am wondering is true
But it’s sparkling and singing in its glory
It is standing alone and could be blue
But it’s writing the best story,
The best song that will ever be written
It stood under skies covered in darkness one day
It could have chosen to stay
But it chose to be covered in stardust
It became a star and took another way
It became something people will look up to
So maybe the star shining through isn’t someone who’ll save me
Maybe that star is me
Now I know what I didn’t before
Now I know I am not darkness
The darkness isn’t me
I have to be the light that shines through the dark
I have to be the one who doesn’t give up
I have to be the one who ignites the spark
I have to be the one who lights up the world in the darkest night.
