nightlight/searchlight... Nightlight/Searchlight

an unweathered blanket of clouds covers me and I feel safe
the full Moon acts as a nightlight keeping an eye out for me
stars, the souls of friends, seem distant, but are mere inches away
the wind breathes lightly on me reassuringly
I feel safe
I feel free
I feel warm, fulfilled
