Through starry eyes, I squint to see

the universe quick closing in

upon the sleepy moon. Before the skies

all fade to black, I know I must take action.

***

Maybe I can hitch a ride, belted to Orion;

Is this what life is all about?

Here begins my secret journey;

save the lights from going out.

***

Through the Sisters, I will soar

delighted with flight’s freedom.

Upon a beacon, I shall land;

align the northern kingdom.

***

Peg will fly me to the face

to rest my milky vision.

I then will peer down, mesmerized,

though way’s destination.

***

Stardust leads to magical sights

in a night time star show.

It’s up to each to make the grab,

to shine within the glow.

Thank you for reading!
