Playing Among the Stars

Moon leads my eye to Venus star so bright Stars appear before my astonished eyes Cosmos in the heavens active tonight It’s glorious August third, no surprise Who is watching me from planets above? Aliens up there, are they keeping track? White of the moon reminds me of a dove. Galaxy dazzling with no kind of lack Wholly aware of our soft Milky Way I want to take a sweet ride on a star. I think of the cosmos, there I must play! I promise I will not take it too far. The moon slips behind a cloud with a wink. I jump in my jet before I can think.
