Quasar

The closeness of your distance
In your brightly darkened sky
Is the evidence of witness
As it offers solitude.

Far from civilized perfection
In the clouds above your halo
I find solace and reflection in
Your peaceful attitude.

With the flickering of starlight
Tapping gently on my shoulder
Comes a quiet resolution
Brushing softly on my skin.

Though the cannons may be rumbling,
Thundering on the distant hillsides
You can still their blundering
And make me whole again.

Brightest object in my night
Shine on me your giving light,
Kindle fires in my heart to
Make my wretched soul take flight.
