I am standing, in black beauty
A silent awe is born
Whispered eons for my cradle
Until the blush of morn
I am standing, in black beauty
Beneath a shimmering sky
No clouds to shroud the heavens
From raptured soaring eyes
I am standing in black beauty
The known world disappears
My breath the only trace of
My tiny presence here
I am standing in black beauty
I have become the night
My rigid form can shelter
And rest from bitter light
I am standing, in black beauty
Released from earthly care
Whispered eons for my cradle
In starry reverent prayer
I am standing, in black beauty
