"Midnight Sky"

by: Emerald Eyes

Late last night

the moon shone bright,

bathing the planet

in soft mako light.

I lost myself

in the sky so vast

and started to wonder

about the past.

What was it like

before my time?

If it's beautiful—

I'll take it—

embrace it—

it's mine!

But I'm not naïve.

I know beauty is forsaken.

I cannot have it—

it's already taken.

The people here are dead.

They follow their fears.

And at night—

all alone—

they cry their tears.

This world is corruption.

Can you hear their cries?

It's the people dying

because of ShinRa

and all of their lies.

I wished things were like they were

before mako power.

And I wished for that

until the clock struck the third hour.

I thought I could go

far away from here

away from Midgar—

away from fear.

So I looked up at the stars

to see

someone gazing

back at me.

"Is the fighting over?

I don't know.

I cannot hide—

I've no place to go!

So help me try to

set things right.

Please help me turn

dark into light."

Emerald eyes

gazed back at me.

The girl in the stars smiled

then spoke to me.

"Little Girl,

listen to what I say.

I will take

the pain away.

I know you're scared

and so am I,

but we can get through this

if we only try."

Then I was alone.

She had disappeared.

But her words lingered,

the meaning clear.

The hope will nullify

the hate,

if you only have

the patience to wait.

Now every single star

looks bright:

An angel spoke to me

last night.
