089. Of Far Away

I have waited for the day,

when I may see stars up close

for the very first time.

I have imagined their beauty,

the warmth I’d feel,

way out there, in the cosmic sea.

The way my love

danced around and around.

Spinning, and turning,

I’d almost fallen to the ground.

I lifted myself once more,

standing firm on the earthly floor.

Though, I could hear the screams,

but of what?

I knew that this 

was all a dream.

It had to be.

I cried that night,

awake and afraid,

not sure whether

to leave, or to stay,

or that you

would come back for me,

and take me away

into the depths

of far away.
