looking up

Frank Prem

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

 

~
