By the Stars We Fly

By the stars we fly,
Over land and sea
With spirits high,
The woes of past, present, future
Die with every blinding light.

We wish to fly,
And leave the tossing waves
Of quilt and sheet behind.
As we drift on the tide 
Of delusion and fancy.

Write me to fly,
Use your pen and shoot
Your arrows of vagary
Deep into impressionable minds.
Plant your seed of fantasy.

But for now I’ll sleep,
Until such time that 
Supernovae, stars, and spangled skies
Call me from my reverie
And buy the stars we all shall fly.
