4G: Stardance

(This piece of poetry is dedicated to my once-stargazing buddy, who have taught me to contemplate the grand mysteries hidden behind the stars. Wherever you are, I remember :)

it's the moon that hangs tonight under a canopy
of dark clouds hovering in the sky
stars sparkling in the great distance
millions of miles away
while we're here sitting side by side like star-crossed lovers
bound to dominate the night time panorama


but it's the sparkle in your beaming eyes that illuminates
the dark shadows of existence
and if the moon has light because of the sun
then I have you as source of enlightened reason


we're here in this cosmic drama called life and reality
our paths have crossed like the moon eclipsing the sun
was it randomly or was it destiny?
but tonight we're one celebrating life's greatest mystery


the night will end, the stars will lose their sparkle in the glaring reality
the clouds will be swept away by the wind to clear the sky and paint a new scene
as I took your hands and lead them into my chest
to hear my heartbeat, a melody that's playing for you
you hold my hands and we're carried by the rhythm of endless joy

tonight it was You and Me and we're one with the skyline
come hold my hands and step with me to conquer the universe
tonight when the moon and the stars are grand
I hold you near to my heart as we dance with the stars.
