acapella lullabies [singing to the stars]
By Six-Out
dr-ape.d in a blank.et of sublimin-ality/
-I watched the stars dance:: tonight
to the beat_of bullets with butterfly .wings
and listen.d to acapella lullabies
sung to the mid-October air
as dew/drops laced the horizon
and we begged the s.u.n- not to rise
:fogged eyes and long-spoken/ goodbyes
k.iss the edge_of tonight-
and/ listen to the stars sing back::
humbl.d by all_ around us
and taken back by what is still hidden
time stands still/ and nothing-really-matters
because/. tonight
is.-by all accounts
...amazing

This left me speechless. Even as I still have miles to go before I sleep, the night sat on my skin like morning dew, replaying each second at every pore.. ":fogged eyes and long-spoken/ goodbyes"...
