I wrote this for my mom this Christmas — she will be alone because of Covid. Starry Night is a holiday song for anyone apart from those they love this season.

Starry Night
by Madam Snowflake

You’re too far away
We’re apart this Christmas Day
Our world is in pain
But with your love I find hope anyway

Warmer memories fade
Into longer nights and short-lived days
Quiet begs me to stay
So I wait
For a holy birth as I pray

Look to the Starry Night
Sirius sings to your heart as it shines
Out in the Starry Night
Our earth dome with shimmering light looks quite alike
In your sky and mine

How much more can our shadow stretch
Have we arrived at the manger yet
Fall to your knees
For a miracle plead
From the One who knows all we truly need

Look to the Starry Night
In you emerging a luminous Conscious Christ
The brightest star you will find
There in your sight, that’s where we align
Out in the Starry Night
Its shimmering light looks quite alike
In your sky and mine

You’re too far away
You’re too far away
I find hope anyway
