Beyond Space

Oh, how I wish to go to space,

Where stars and nebulae embrace.

Beyond the skies, so vast, so deep,

Where galaxies and comets sleep.

Planets spinning, one by one,

Dancing circles 'round the Sun.

I dream of sights I’ve never seen,

In hues of gold and deepest green.

Are there aliens? I can’t say,

But I would greet them anyway.

With open heart and mind so wide,

I’d take that interstellar ride.

The stars, they twinkle — I’m in love,

With Saturn’s rings and skies above.

“Where are you, Neptune? Say hello!”

“We’re here,” they chant, “we never go!”

Oh, let me float where silence sings,

Where time dissolves and starlight clings.

A cosmic kiss, a breathless leap,

Into a universe so deep.

Let’s just pretend I touched the sky,

And waved to Earth with tearful eye.

The stars all shimmered in a line,

As if to say, “You, too, can shine.
