Like salt spilled on a black table cloth, the stars were laid out before me.
I stared up at them for quite a while as I lay in my driveway,
Augustana. Alexi Murdoch. Holiday Parade. Lovedrug. croon.
They danced and flickered and finally,
I found my message in them.
"You've chosen not to lead an empty life.
It feels like it shouldn't be this way, right?
Yeah, you're aching, your heart is in a few pieces right now.
But did you ever think that maybe there is a reason?
Let's fix it together.
Start finding beauty in everyday life.
Every tiny beautiful thing is one more stitch in that heart of yours.
You'll get there.
Yeah you'll have to wait,
But there are so many beautiful things along the way
That you WON'T have to wait for."
Tomorrow will be better.
Don't let your light dim ever.
The stars filled me with a better outlook on tomorrow,
near optimism,
hope.
Suddenly, silence.
The only other sounds that filled the night sky
Were words.
Were beautiful.
Were perfect.
When I'm alone,
When I've thrown off the weight of this crazy stone,
When I've lost all care for the things I own,
That's when I miss you.
That's when I miss you, you who are my home.
In that moment, I was at peace.
My salvation lies in your love...
