The stars shine on me, dancing above my head
Dancing like the night we danced together
Twinkling their messages throughout the galaxy
Reaching their songs to my small blue planet
My small world around me is quiet, still
Leaving me contemplating in the dark
My starlight shines through the street
Reflecting the eternal light to my world
Calling for another to join, complete my constellation
From afar, the familiar bring of your bike sounds
Your light swims through the darkness
I watch as your shadow races towards mine
Your warm starlight reaching for me
You swoop in and disembark
Noble as a knight coming home after battle
Home to his princess
I join by your side, our shadows aligning
Connected like the constellations above us
Gentle, careful, loving
You pull me along, choosing to walk with me
Rather than speed through the darkness
I follow, letting the you guide me
Your phoenix fire lighting the way
Carving the path for the blackbird
A proud blackbird in the moonlight
Finally willing to be seen
Knowing the phoenix can see the hidden beauty
The ultraviolet in the black
A blackbird beside a phoenix
The phoenix’s steady flames holding the world together
Thawing the ice, bringing the warmth
My fingers trace the bracelet around my wrist
Colors, bright and courageous
Tied together, strands refusing to snap
The ropes still fit in the pattern you created
Despite months spent holding on by a thread
Your fingers find mine, gentle and constant
I lean into the comfort
Feeling as though I’ve finally found where I belong
No longer a lone star
Your light encouraging mine as we fly together
Fly together in the stars
