The Milky Way

A path to where?

A billion stars at which to stare,

Or a billion eyes that blink at us

From deep deep space and clouds of dust.

 

A brush stroke in the starlit sky

A misty cloud of wonder why

Observed by all down steps of time

Light years away but somehow mine

 

It’s fingers stretch into the air

With just a glow in sky so fare

Between the milky cloudy light 

Blackness shrouds the dead of night

 

Like men before and men to come

Transfixed by beauty of distant suns

I wonder if my mind is there

Unlocked for everyone to share.
