Each morning I went out to play

And we danced until the skies were grey

Only parting when you crossed those heavy bars

You fell asleep amongst the stars



Later, I waited outside as the winds turned breezy

I knew that you coming wasn’t easy

Even so, you assured that it was never too far

You fell asleep amongst the stars



I know now where you went

Up to the heavens from where you were sent

Unintentionally leaving me with a scar

You fell asleep amongst the stars

Just a keyrielle that I needed to crank out for my Creative Writing class. It's about my grandmother, who I haven't written about in a while, but I got to thinking about her today and I got the urge to make my piece about her. It definitely needs editing, but I haven't had enough time to do that yet.
