Satellite

Orbitting around your life, 
always out of reach, 
but you can see it fly, 
streaking across night sky 

Always at night, 
wrestle with your emotion, 
with all your might 
What is wrong? 
What is right? 

Every night awaking, 
wondering why? 
Imagination seeking. 
That satellite streaking 
across the night sky 

This starry night, 
emotions you must fight, 
can you see the flight? 
of streaking satellite? 

This satellite of a kind 
is your state of mind, 
the things you want to find 

The things you want to be, 
the things that make you free, 
the things you want to see, 
the things that matter to me 

This satellite is hard to see, 
streaking across starry sky, 
but I want it to be me, 
for I want to fly 
in dark night sky
