galaxies

I would travel the world,

See all I could see,

But this world always seemed 

Too small for me.

I always dreamed 

Of galaxies.

I would journey the stars
In sweet solitude,
A glorious view
Of the beauty imbued
In sky and moon
And altitude.

I would wander the void,
Black and dangerous place,
Only inches away
From endless space,
In search, unafraid,
Of a cosmic embrace.

I would run from a world
Where I never belonged.
Away from what's wrong
To the wonders beyond
That sing my same song,
Undiscovered, unknown.
