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 a starry sky,
with naked eyes,
yes, unprotected, perhaps shy,
at very distance,
far away, and often hiding,
inhaled with every breeze.
Oh, could I be just only once,
the air to breathe,
and also myself distance.
