Tripping the lights fantastic

Their voices called to me as I flew by

Each star in the sky sang its own song

And in wonder I welled and swelled as

I tarried by each one for what seemed like forever

Til off I flew to the next luminous miracle

Squealing with delight as the wind and

The stardust rushed across my face and through my hair

I looked back and saw the billions of stars

With whom I had sang and breathed and loved

Then looked forward in anticipation of what

Was yet to come

A billion more lights each offering me

Their luminous treasures for
just one second, which holds eternity

No wonder I wake up so tired
