Beyond the Known

Let the sun send down it's rays
Let clouds form patterns overhead
Now we can see the void
We are entitled to view it
It is our birthright, our future
Beyond the sky
Lie countless stars and darkness
Let the rotation of the moon
Continue
for we have walked on that orb
As we shall walk on other orbs
Is someone out there in the darkness?
Someone we should know about?
There are things too strange and great
For our understanding to fathom
Eyes which have gazed upward
Now close
Off to a dream - filled sleep 
The universe above - we can take comfort 
In knowing we are only a small part
of creation

Surely, there is "Someone we should know about...out there in the darkness," Matthew. And, yes, we have walked on the moon, but I would like to see an aircraft from Earth tripping through the Milky Way. (Maybe in my next life.) As for exploring Woodstock, I do believe Yasgood's Farm is calling my name. Love, Carolyn
