Always up there and in here

 The sky is an immaculate chalkboard

As the sun drops further

I see freckles between the stars

Over that Way a cloud of watery Milk streaks the sky

I am the North Star

I don't feel good

I don't feel bad

I feel here

Tomorrow I return

But tonight

I am in the stars

I watch in fascination

Seeking to rekindle

Childhood friendships

Until light enters my eyes and

Becomes the oldest thing

I've ever touched

Besides this rock

Besides me

Born of that same light

I am raised to the top of

My star-filled

Snow Globe

And they whisper in my ear

"We are always here"

"As are you."
