I Will Fly With Stars

The sky is filled,

with tiny, shimmering lights.

Some are big,

some are small,

but yet,

they all,

still shine. 

I can reach my arm out,

and try to grab the nearest one,

but the stars are just too far,

so why not try to reach

the sun?

I get on my feet,

and dust myself off,

dreaming of what would happen,

if I could really hug a star.

Suddenly, the ground begins to disappear,

leaving just me,

the sun, and yes,

the stars.

But the thing that is weird,

is that,

I don't feel,

a single,

ounce of fear.

I raise my hands above my head,

savoring the moment,

where I don't really feel,

a bit of dread. 

I fly higher,

get stronger,

and even grow a bit tired,

but my adventure is far from over,

because if I can meet the stars,

then there is much, much more that I will find,

that truly isn't far.

When I drop back down to Earth,

I land steadily on my feet.

I walk back home,

where my family,

delicious food,

and a comfortable bed await,

but this time, I won't feel anything negative.

Because my life,

my choices,

are here,

waiting and preparing,

just for me.
