I have seen the world at night (2010)

22/7/2013

 
I have seen the world at night
Lights of houses streets and cities
That rise upward from the surface
Reflect upon my window
And vanish into space

Sweet night wrap me in your embrace
30000 feet high I sit
In an aluminium shell
Cocooned in vacuum
Craving sleep

I cannot stand to weep
For beauty or tragedy
Dry air tears at my eyes
And I look outward
Seeking solace in the starlight.
