Something

As I look up into the night
I see the shining stars
I try to block out distant noise,
the sound of passing cars.
I can't find what I'm looking for,
It's not up in the sky.
"Perhaps it's just behind a cloud,"
Still, I can't help but cry.
I think about a night long past,
Yes, that was when I saw it last
Up in the sky, up in the air
I saw it then, I saw it there.
Clearly, I remember now,
I saw it on that glorious night
Went upon the grass, when I gazed up,
I saw its radient light.
I felt it then, I could not stand,
My knees gave out, I fell
I laid upon my back, stared upward,
Within me, all was well
Yet now it's gone, I see no trace
Thinking thoughts and facing space,
Open my eyes, I lift my head,
Maybe I'll see it tomorrow instead.
