Your Light No Longer Shines

by Krautkitten

Long nights
Barefoot and running through the grass with open jars
Star sights
I'd lie on my back
To scope the moon and search for Mars
Staring from my window now
I can't keep from looking down
Your light no longer shines

Dark house
Aiming our searchlights cross your door
Between your blinds
Burned out
Shimmering, distant
pools of blue within your eyes
Stories that were spun by you
If only you would let us through
Your light no longer shines

King crowns
daisy chain bracelets
dandelions for you, dear friend
Each time
Pray you don't pluck the petals off
and snap the stems
Seedlings in the evening dew
Watch us, watch us from your window view
Your light no longer shines
