    Full on Stars — from a Cosmonaut’s journal

    When I was a child,
    I ate dust.

    Face upon the floor,
    I saw nothing.

    Hours would go by,
    I couldn’t get up
    Pushing.

    Years later
    I remained.

    Far from home
    It stayed the same.

    I found myself
    In heavy shadow,
    Thinking.

    My mind goes back,
    Remembering.

    I see no sky,
    I have no eyes.

    The world remains dark,
    I fall asleep,
    Dreaming.

    The sun.
    Find me.

    Burning fire,
    He speaks.

    Irreverent,
    I rise again
    On my knees.

    I look up
    Before the push.

    I gaze,
    Marrying the sky.

    Heaven’s gates
    Full on Stars,
    They beckon me

    To travel far.

    —–
    Thoughts on my nonsense?
