Endless And Everlasting - The Night Sky Pt. 6

The diamonds that were embedded in the night sky 

Did not last forever as was once promised 

Yet neither did those purifying tears 

That formed from the black clouds in my heart 

But, Inside of us all I have come to find

That there is a star that lingers in core of our decaying souls 

That burns brighter than any sun

And one that holds more value than any of the jewels of heaven 

For It’s an illuminating light 

That can never dim or fade into the hands of misery 

Since it’s knowledge of tragedy remains ignorant 

Although this gem that is buried within us 

Is a fountain of wisdom 

I have lost myself to this overwhelming sense of joy 

And I can only see things optimistically 

Because I understand that paradise was never in the sky

But, within myself 

Therefore, now I can look up at a thousand starless nights

And be the moons endless everlasting friend 

Till the end of my days and even till the end of time 

For even if I die

I know this celestial flame will never burn out.
