Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Early riser, coffee in my hand
Watching the stars as they fade away
Yes, twinkle twinkle little star
Go, I'll admire you another day

Your light has come so very far
From a different time and place
A distance I cannot comprehend
Through this mystery called space

When I break this earthly bond
Perhaps the heavens I'll explore
Flying to see you face to face
And walk through infinity's door

Space is amazing; stars moreso. Oh to be able to travel throughout space and get to know each one. Beautifully done.

Yes. A child's version of the old jingle - a grown child at that. I love it when a person can become child like in his/her poetry. Love, daver

Ah, if only we could master time travel. I do believe it's possible based on some theories scientists describe regarding worm holes. Hold my hand, BG, and let's go back to childhood when all things seemed possible. Love this write. Big 7+ Hugs to my fellow LNC, Carolyn
