Heavenly Dream
I went in search of the silver star.
I made a left just past Mars.
I went past the asteroid belt.
I flew so fast I thought I’d melt.
But, it’s really cold in space.
Not a very friendly place.
I traveled beyond the solar system.
Now I have to use my wisdom.
There are no direction signs out here.
Very little around, I fear.
Out, out into the galaxy.
I flew fast & I flew free.
Finally I reached the nearest star.
But, nothing silver here so far.
I headed for Orion’s belt.
I went fast with what I was dealt.
When I arrived there was a giant star tunnel.
Stars on all sides like a funnel.
Into the funnel I dived.
I began to think; soon I will arrive.
At the end I found the silver star.
Often called the Northern Star.
I was about to land when I awoke.
I heard a voice as it spoke.
“It’s not time for you to be here yet.”
“You can come home when everything’s set”.
