Sleeping at Last

Sleeping at Last

You taught me the courage of stars before you left.
 How light carries on endlessly, even after death.
 With shortness of breath, you explained the infinite.
 How rare and beautiful it is to even exist.

 I couldn’t help but ask
 For you to say it all again.
 I tried to write it down
 But I could never find a pen.
 I’d give anything to hear
 You say it one more time,
 That the universe was made
 Just to be seen by my eyes.

 With shortness of breath, I’ll explain the infinite
 How rare and beautiful it truly is that we exist.

Song by a band called Saturn
