Looking Up at Heaven
Looking up at heaven
hearing the voices that
whisper to her from above.
Seeking the guidance of
the elders that came
before her and hoping
for the peace of mind
that she just can not
seem to find anymore.
Looking up at heaven
wishing on the many
stars scattered across
the sky about her.
Looking up at heaven
trying to find her
balance knowing that
so many have already
gone before her and
knowing that they are
looking and watching
over her while she is
still on the earth.
Missing them all
wishing they were still
here on this plane
with her so that she
had someone she could
truly talk to about
the things inside of her.
Feeling left alone,
feeling abandoned,
feeling destroyed,
barely hanging on by a
single, simple thread of
light that has now disappeared.
Looking up at heaven
baring her soul to those
who went before her.
Looking up at heaven
finding the balance that
she so craves within
the stars that glitter there.
Looking up at heave
finding her guidance
within the constellations.
Mesmerized by the glow
of the moon and the
idea that everything could
just change in an instant.
