One day

You and I

We'll be the stars

like the ones we see;

not the type that walk on red,

but the kind

that people like us gaze up at

and wonder

how something

seemingly so small could

be so huge

and beautiful...

 

We will be known, one in 300 billion,

part of something bigger than we are:

Orion, Cassiopeia, Aries,

we will burn forever,

glimmering from above

those who dream,

Until then

we can stay here,

being the dreamers on cool grass,

gazing at the

star-filled sky.

We will belong in that star garden

when the time arrives.

I think we have something in commun! Stars, space and beautiful full moon nights. Don't you think TheComet says it all lol :P Anyways, it was so beautifully poetic, you are truly gifted casey. This is my favorite so far. Keep writing and amazing the world. Especially keep living every poem you write. Thank you for sharing this.
