i ain't no scientist
not even an astrologist
but i see stars every night
and know them by name
a welcome sight
bright
sometimes i see a rocket ship , too
lost up there
don't dare ask why
top secret
you know from long ago
just like to stand
gaze
through my day's haze
it's ok to stare
look up
wondering
declare
sometimes with a slow nod , yes
other times
faster
side to side bewilderment
brilliance
not so far away
a voice of profound knowledge
greater than all my troubles
not so hidden
in my dark sky
promises of good fortune
for me and others i love
twinkling
cute
teasingly...
reminders of tomorrow's possibilities
ok
for me to sleep
deep
rest for my next days
travels on foot and mind
wonderous happenings
not to be taken in small doses
even if sunshine doesn't come
don't let showers
or a few rain drops
ruin your stay
toss away
the overcoat
let those drops find you
drink them
to satisfy today's thirst
and
hold onto some
for future flowers
