Flying Above the Night

By serenesavage91

The sky settled over head.
And I heard you whisper of fright.
So forlorn and crushing,
Bursting dreams from the night.

You held my hand and flew with me,
Snatching stars from the sky.
As i laughed in delight,
You had only cried.

The galaxy was painted,
Just for that night.
The moon hung around,
Just to see that sight,

Lakes rippled in our wake,
Grass blew in our breeze.
So strong and sure you and I soared,
Angels fell to their knees.

We twined our fingers together,
High above the ground,
Whispered you’d love me forever
Then vanished without a sound.

    What a sudden and shattering conclusion; the sudden longing and abandonment is crushing... I love your diction, you use unique words that entice the audience (very descriptive)... Tis always darkest before the dawn? :p
