Starlight Dance

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.
