The Stars Shine Brighter Now

The air is fuzzy with the sparse fog
Glowing around the street lights
Pierced at the middle of the lamp
Dispersed out and reflects from the pools
When its strength fades
The heavy darkness pushes in
Cool dripping rain falls
Tears of the mist slide down window panes

Under the lights they walk over the cracked concrete
Her shoes click along the wet and rough pavement
He is by her side
Watching the soft glow of the sreet lights brush across her face
She turns to him
He smiles as he looks into her eyes, now dark and calm with the night
But still gleaming and bright with each passing light

He offers his arm, she accepts
They walk in syncronization
Bound to each other, arm in arm
Holding each other like links of a chain
Physically, and also, they hold the others heart to cradle tenderly

Time stops when a moment is perfect
Miles pass, the sound of her voice never ceases to please him
By the end of the night
He didn't remember how long they had walked
He didn't remember how long they had talked

Embracing, her light hands brush across his shoulders
He breathes in her sweet smell and closes his eyes
He had forgotten what it had been like to embrace
To be encircled in soft arms
Held in warm arms

The clocks wind around again
He will go home and dream of the time the stars stood still
And that angel stole the heart of one who had been cold
She breathed into and gave new life to a hard heart
Revived, he could now live once again
