following the stars
that brought me here
beckoning
sleep now
there's nothing
more to do
than trace the paths of glory and defeat
both gained and lost
and listen to the music of the stars
feeling a symphony all its own
but
if i should go to orion
to leave my earthly world to another orb
then at least
i know i
have soared through the night
and touched all i
could feel
like being
wrapped in moonglow
and fantasy and
shining wonder
believing in
tomorrow's brighter hue

without dreams
the weight of life
is heavy
