Starwatch.

I look up into the sky,

All I see is grey,

Various shades of grey,

No blue is visible.

But my mind’s eye takes me,

Takes me above the grey

To the wonder of the blue

And the yellow of the sun.

I look down and see the grey,

See the grey below me.

I look up and sail upwards

Beyond the blue,

Into the blackness of space,

Where even here there is light.

The moon looks at me

Giving me memories of times.

Times of love when it looked down.

Looked down on us on a summers evening.

I glide further into the void

And see the stars all around me.

Those stars of memories

Where people have passed.

Then I see it,

I see the brightest star

The brightest star in the Universe,

I know it is her,

It is my lover waiting for me.

I sail towards my love

Knowing that in time

I will reach that star

And we will join as one

And be together forever

In this wonderful Universe.
