Goodnight
I wish everyday I could reach into the night sky and pluck from her cloak a handful of stars so I could bid you goodnight.
I would clasp them in my hands and watch them sparkle bright.
This parting gift for one so adored, a small token of all of my love.
I would put them in your eyes and hair so they wouldn’t be lonely and they could play with the ones already there.
Then I would close your eyes with a kiss and put my nose in your hair and think about what wonderful marvels inside you reside, a universe I cannot fathom or deny.
-e.v.e.
