Quasar

Thecloseness of your distance

Inyour brightly darkened sky

Isthe evidence of witness

Asit offers solitude.

 

Farfrom civilized perfection

Inthe clouds above your halo

Ifind solace and reflection in

Yourpeaceful attitude.

 

Withthe flickering of starlight

Tappinggently on my shoulder

Comesa quiet resolution

Brushingsoftly on my skin.

 

Thoughthe cannons may be rumbling,

Thunderingon the distant hillsides

Youcan still their blundering

Andmake me whole again.

 

Brightestobject in my night

Shineon me your giving light,

Kindlefires in my heart to

Makemy wretched soul take flight.
