Alive Tonight

The sky is a black blanket in the night

There’s walls of sky into which the dark slammed

But stars that shine with an endless light

Glint with hope for those consumed, for the damned

 

The smoke of bright flames reflects in glazed eyes

A shout, an echo �" and then not a word

Regret the misfortune of those who lied

For truths they tell can no longer be heard

 

A boy dances on his toes through the skies

His laughter liberates the charcoal night

The people below watch with bloodshot eyes

He winks for the second star to the right

 

Morning breaks free of the eternal night

Forgiving, forgetting, hope comes with light

I like the stars glinting with hope for the damned. Maybe one glints for me. Nice read. Just enough mystery to be thought provoking without being needlessly obtuse. Like it
