Counting Stars

One flew across the sky But died soon after Others beamed with the moon in some concerted laughter I've been counting stars For as long as I can remember Those whose brilliance fell Those that shone there on after I've been counting stars Much like they held my dreams The possibilities in that beaming gas I'll be counting til my star drops I've been counting for millions Millions have been lost ( They flashed and fell) I'll keep counting Til my star drops. One flew across the sky It dropped and died My stars is still in the sky I'll keep counting stars Til my star drops.
