You taught me the courage of stars before you left How light carries on endlessly, even after death With shortness of breath, you explained the infinite How rare and beautiful it is to even exist I couldn’t help but ask For you to say it all again I tried to write it down But I could never find a pen I’d give anything to hear You say it one more time That the universe was made Just to be seen by my eyes With shortness of breath, I’ll explain the infinite How rare and beautiful it truly is that we exist

The light was leaving in the west it was blue The children's laughter sang And skipping just like the stones they threw Their voices echoed across the waves It's getting late And it was just another night With a sunset and the moonrise Not so far behind to give us just enough light To lay down underneath the stars We listened to Papa's translations Of the stories across the sky We drew our own constellations The west winds often last too long And when they calm down, nothing ever feels the same Sheltered under the Kamani tree Waiting for the passing rain Clouds keep moving to uncover the sea Stars up above us c
