Ideals

The stars wink above in the heavens high,
I look for Mars, Venus, and lil' Pluto; 
Planets I see but cannot journey go,
Glad still I know that they are in the sky.
The moon revolves around my little world;
The white beams that forever freely shine, 
But I cannot ever truly call mine -
Are dearer than things I can hold uncurled.
I'm glad I can see all the Milky Way,
Though I cannot soar beyond Jupiter;
I’d feel more burdened and far stupider, 
If I couldn’t dream and the sky survey.
To view ideals outside my evolve,
Helps hope every barrier to resolve.
