Dancing on the Moon

Drifting away, my mind to rest

Easing my thoughts beneath the eve of the beaver moon's best

Lo, when my eyes saw the light

On Earth, I was not

Miles away, it floated in space

I, on the other hand, had transported to another place

Yes, there I awoke,

A floating figure on the moon

Transformed into a space cadette

Within that night's deep slumber

Glancing down at the isolated world in my lonesome,

Spinning continuously in its tiresome orbit,

I could finally see just how small,

Just how lonely, our reality was

Nothing exists for millions of light years away

If a star exploded in another galaxy,

one thousand years ago,

we'd only just be seeing it today

Realizing this, and seeing as to where I currently was,

I took a plunge, a deep leap,

Into the black abyss surrounding my essence

Enveloped by the universe in a mutual embrace,

I remembered that gravity didn't exist in space

And so I leapt and glided and swam away

Far, far, from Earth

And when the world awoke the very next day,

No longer was I in my wooden frame and cotton sheets

Where I was, was a place you could only visit in your dreams

For last night, I decided that should I ever be given the chance

Should I wake up on the moon and see my world as one of ants,

Away I'd fly; I'd never return

I'd accept the universe's hand and live out the rest of my days

Dancing and singing my worries away

In the galaxy of the Milky Way
