I look up, and see the sky,
Twilight disappears,
Night is taking its possession,
Please, come very near.
It is so dark, and silent here,
The blackness fills me with dismay,
The silence presses in on me,
And you seem far away.

If you could only take a moment,
A minute, maybe two,
You could chase away the dark,
As I correspond with you.

You give such solace, consolation,
You comfort me the most,
For just one moment, I pretend
That you are very close.

Your very presence soothes me so,
Just like a healing balm,
And nothing seems so terrible
That time with you can't calm.

It does not seem like so much space,
Keeps me from your side,
Nor does the distance visible,
Seem so very wide.

And so, for just a moment more
Let's write a line or two,
And we can make believe that I
Am really there with you.

- Aurora Antonovic
