Dear Vast Skies Above,

To the sun,

My light of sultry hope

Who breaks through the clouds of conflict

Who warms cold hearts

Who evaporates puddles of sorrow rain

I say thank you,

For drying my tears of pain.

To the moon,

My luminous faith

Who stands out in a black sheet

Who replenishes the sun's absence

Who reshapes and rearrange

I say thank you,

For showing me it is okay to change.

To the stars,

My specks of sanity

Who acceptably don't shine excessively

Who are among many alike and different

Who are distant constellations invisibly sewn

I say thank you,

For showing me I am not alone.

And to all the various skies,

My trustful guidance

Who convey imminent and everlasting emotions

Who transform the depths of experience

Who care for the elements of life,

I say thank you, thank you, and thank you.
