WISH YOU WERE HERE

Darkness descended like a roosting raven
Blackness engulfed our human haven
The Moon was resplendent, floating like the Mary Celeste
Rudderless to shores unknown.

The night was calm. It was cold.
I was alone, growing old.
Wish you were here, this beautiful night
You, me and the Moon: Behold the sight.

Dewdrops glistened, little diamonds for you.
Delicately sitting atop fragile blades, brand new.
The horizon lightened, and I was still alone
Wish you were here, this beautiful dawn.

Soft golds, reds and yellows, a canvas on show
The darkness dispelled, the sun began to glow
Like a soft-boiled egg, it hung low, frowning
Wish you were here, this wonderful morning.

Wish you were here, from now and forever.
