We all reach for the stars
But do we want to leave Mother Earth behind
When we rise with the sun,
It's warm rays caressing our naked skin, our bare soul.
When we fall asleep to the moon
It's cool blue fissures shedding their hue, illuminating the dark
And our dreams.
The Two shed their beams to give us life
While the stars only glimmer, and bask in their own brilliance.
We all want to go farther, to be more than contented
Yet we fear as we leave the Gods we once knew, that they will fade
Their tender light to shade
Then the stars stay far away
Then we live in the dark for all days
Grounded we are, stuck in the race between dreams and space.
Between what is always had, for granted,
And what is never attained nor given.
