Starlit Dreams



Once upon a time

on a starlit night

I dreamt of you

 

I didn't know you, of course

you were only a figment

of the moon and the stars

a gentle breeze that I could feel

but couldn't hold

 

I imagined

a mischievous smile in the twinkling lights

a loving heart as wide as the indigo sky

and a kind soul as soothing as the moon

 

I traced lines in the sky

drawing a path

through the universe

that might lead me to you

 

you may say I'm a dreamer

but I'm not the only one

for as long as the stars and the moon

inhabit the sky

romantics will trace their silhouettes

and try to connect the dots.
