"Lapis Lazuli"

The sky tonight
The darkest blue
The deepest hue
I'm used to being greeted by the void
But this is new
This vibrant view
Forever in my sight

I step outside
The quiet air
And there I stare
A stirring and a stilling in my soul
If I could pair
That shade up there
With my heart inside

Like a royal accenting
Like the wind that's ascending
To the sheet of blue
On high
Like a color anointed
The fabric that's painted
By the evening sky
For you

The sky tonight
So curious
Mysterious
I'm lost in gazing deep into its depth
Veiling stars
Concealed they are
By this might

Like a royal accenting
Like the wind that's ascending
To the sheet of blue
On high
Like a color anointed
The fabric that's painted
By the evening sky
For you
For you
