Someone, Somewhere…

Tonight as I lay here,
Looking up at the stars,
Life became a little clearer.
The reality, of how things truly are.
Of what we choose to hear.
While the rest,
Just fades and disappears.
Tonight, someone, somewhere.
Is taking their breathe.
While another lays, facing their death.
Tonight, someone, somewhere.
Is sitting down for dinner.
And nearby in the darkness.
Another keeps growing thinner.
Tonight, someone, somewhere.
Is watching the beautiful sunset.
And another, is living in their regret.
Tonight, someone, somewhere.
Is making love, under the moonlight.
And yet another, 
Has to put up a fight, for their life.
Tonight, someone, somewhere.
Has the strength to persevere.
While another, stands still, in their fear.
Tonight, someone, somewhere.
Is comfortably sleeping in their bed.
While another,
Has to sleep, near a riverbed.
Tonight, someone, somewhere.
Is kneeling down to pray.
And another who somehow,
Has lost their way.
Tonight, someone, somewhere.
Is experiencing their first kiss.
And another, who has,
Just been dismissed.
Tonight, someone, somewhere.
Is looking up, at the same stars.
And baring the same scars.
And with all the miles traveled.
We're both able, to still smile.
And know, it's been worthwhile.
