I stumble through the night
Wishing there were starlight.
The path is long and dark
Lacking any landmark.
Then as the end comes near
Strong winds arrive to clear
The sky of all that bars
The grandeur of the stars.
They shine on me below,
Offering their guidance,
And my starlight shadow
Walks with me in silence.
