The fear of the pitch black

Which, like a demon, frightens most

Mesmerizes me like an owl

Who perches from the tree

With glowing eyes of hope

 

The undescribable,

Sky that blooms of lavender

And although dim,

The stars still shine bright from a distance

As my soul draws near

Like a fish on a hook

I swim to the surface of the galaxy

Glowing as red as Betelguese

But I don't have to say it three times

The clouds become a stairway to heaven

As the stars up close that die

From the murderous shadow of daybreak

Illuminate the world

While the sky may seem bare

 

Like a woman, the sky is beautiful

And although people find joy during the day

And mourn their shortcomings at night

Like a moth to a flame,

I'm drawn to the moon

Taking a giant leap, but not for mankind

The wind, although silent

Sings a blissful tune like a carefree child

As the trees join in an enchanting dance

Entranced by the wind's spell

 

As I turn into a swan

Who swims in the heavenly fountain

That had agreed to its part of the 

Bargain I paid with a singular penny

Drinking 'til I become youthful

 

While everyone else in the world sleeps

I lie awake as a nocturnal creature

And I dance, arrayed as a swan dancer,

Dancing the night away, the night

That thankfully nobody else appreciates

The night, that I look forward to,

As I hear footsteps of reindeer, 

Hoping to catch the night before it flees

 

Eight planets that have once been separated,

Draw together and orbit, not the sun,

But the stars as they orbit together,

Spinning in a circle like children,

As the galaxies full of stars

Unite together into one, while they

Finally come alive, breaking free from

The forever long separation

As they meet together in a dance

As though they've never met

While the fountain bathes them,

Washes them anew

And together we all dance away

To let us all shine brightly

As we drift into a new world

A world no human will ever truly know

Unless they are tugged by the stars.
