In times that things seem dark I go back to that night
When we aimlessly fell into the sand of a silent lagoon
We spread out a blanket and made that shore our bed so large that we could never reach the edges
But we held each other tight like we were going to fall off the side.
I had never been so far away from everything I've known Things had never been so uncertain
But I was home.
And as I sat there, with your legs across my lap
I heard you begin to drift off
Your gentle snores in time with crashing waves in the distance.
I looked up.
I was so distracted by the universe that sat next to me in the sand
I never noticed how many stars were on the ceiling of our room.
I softly gasped in awe As they glittered by the millions uncountable and numerous
And so, so bright.
Laying back I admired the world You had placed me in.
As you snuggled close Half dozing toes slipping in the sand as you folded like paper in my arms
Perfection laid there next to me.
We had no walls and we were so exposed to the wilds of the world
But I have never felt safer Than I did
On that shore.
Under all those blazing stars held tight in sleep's embrace
That is what home will be to me A feeling I can't replace.
