stars will fade

Did you see the stars tonight?
They shone, and made the cold and dark depart.
As i sat outside in the waning light
The cold chilled my thoughts of fire
and warmed my heart of ice.
My senses felt sharp as a trampled rose thorn
I felt the icy wind slice through,
but I felt no chill on my skin.
I heard the train as it crunched down on its tracks
While it was yet a hundred miles far
I smelt the soft dew
as it formed on blades of new grass
and heard the ruffle of feathers
As baby birds stirred in their dreams.

Then the earth had sung it's lullaby and fell silent
As it ushered in your birthday
And you were in my dreams while i was yet awake
Did you see the stars tonight?
They shone, and made the cold and dark depart.
