Lost in the Stars


Hanging on a precipice
Half awake and half asleep.
In dreams where nothing is amiss,
I long for the abyss.

Stretching to the sky,
I smile to be free.
Flying to the stars so high,
Far from the trappings that hold me.

Then I look at what I left behind,
Resting on that bed.
It’s so easy to drift in wind:
To free myself for good.

Yet that time is not yet here,
And with a longing for the sky,
I return, once more near.
Slumber’s call overtakes the stars.
