Starlight Dance
a poem
We've been there,
in the velvet where the other planets
lay peacefully
nestled in permanent storms,
encircled in forever crowns.
*
We've been there,
on the dusty little rock
that pulls the vast oceans
as it whistles by,
super, harvest fixture
in the black night sky.
*
We've been there,
away from our home
or perhaps drifting
through places we belong,
ever expanding, ever careening
in the milky galaxy.
*
We've been there.
Though I am no astronaut
I have no need, for I see
the perfection in the universe
from right here,
dancing with you under the silent stars.
