when he looked up
to the sky
the stars shone
darkness filled spaces
between points
of light
from here on the ground
the next place
seemed so very far
he selected a stone
to reach the heart
of the moon
and it rose high
then it turned
to fall at his feet
~
inter-star travel
should be driven
by dreams
imagine!
how far
he could go
fueled by his desire
the hope in his heart
would take him
past Jupiter ...
... could take him
away
to the stars
~
when I look up
to the night
I see stars shine
