Just Only Once

Just only once 
						
Below some branches far,
when I was standing calm and by myself,
I found some confidence, my friend, 
felt nature's heart in me,
always a leading hand,
to take me with thee
in her coloured dance.

								
The stars,
I used to pull them  from the darkest sky,
with naked eyes,
yes, unprotected, perhaps shy,
the shiny beauties,
far away, and often hiding,
inhaled them yet with every breeze.
Oh, could I be just only once,
the air to breathe,
and also myself distance.
