Starry-eyed by Moonlight
A Poem by Keila Aartila
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!

Frankie's Song of the Week: Espresso - Sabrina Carpenter
A little something different from me while I deal with the strain of writers block. I thought I'd do a song of the week, because I have been surely annoying my neighbours and my friends with this absolute musical GEM. I am of course talking about Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter.
