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?
