"Far and Beyond"


The moon above grabs
my attention to the stream
of stars in the never-ending sky.
Dot after dot builds up the milky way
and makes my mind drift further into space.
Beyond there is a whole new life or
experience just waiting to be discovered
or imagined.
I get lost and forget about everything around me.
Fly away to the moon and stars.
Stars as brights as diamonds and a moon
that is a creamy color like a pearl.
Dreams are expensive and so is the sky.
I shall keep to them both for it is all that I have,
the moon and stars above.
