Outskirts of the Sky

[couchgrouch]

Outskirts of the SkyI gaze up at the heavens, and the stars tonightso many are brilliant, and the moon is brightbut a tiny sparkle, makes friends with my eyeit's lonely...looking downward, from the outskirts of the skyI'd always looked for, love in the nearest placebut I fin'lly found it, in a hidden placeshe kept her beauty secret, so quiet and shylike a twilight twinkle, in the outskirts of the skythough some say God's light, just doesn't existHe shines from horizons, the lost have missedHe knows the reasons, behind all I doand though He sees through me, He still sees me throughso when the hands of time demandall the time on my handsI'll shed this mortal shadow, and join him on highshining like the morning, on the outskirts of the sky(c)2004 Robert George
