"Child of the Heavens" by Amanda J. Hoffman

Child of the Heavens



Glitter of the blissful sky,

Guide me through the night.

Although you're not always there to comply,

I feel your warmth; I feel your light.



I know the children of the forest,

And I know the children of the Earth.

To them, I am no longer the tourist,

Yet I was not aware of your birth.



You seemed to arrive in the knick of time,

Almost towards my inevitable death.

Wanderer of the forgotten rhyme,

Love me until your last breath.



Angel, child, saviour in disguise,

Lead me to utter bliss and not contempt.

Don't deny me to demise,

Yet don't exactly relent.



Child of the heavens above,

Do not leave and die.

Understand that my love

Is based upon questions of why.



The questions lead to wondering

Of what there is to come.

Poet of the night with a mind wandering,

Take me back to where you're from.



To the sky or sea of black above;

Lover of the forgotten realms,

Guide me upon the wings of a dove,

And forever in your heart shall I dwell.
