I wish to be a galaxy

By Elsa Van Beek

 

               How great it would be

                            To float among the stars

No gravity to hold down

                                        No mistakes to be made;

 

How great it would be

                            To dance in the sky

As just another part

                            Of a beautiful sunset.

 

How great would it be

              To explore new planets,

                           New discoveries to be made

                                         New ground to walk on…

 

How great would it be

To stare at the constellations

              And take in

All of their majesty;

 

How great would it be

              To be a part of the sky:

                                                        Beautiful

Boundless

Mysterious

Hope

Fear

             To dance in the galaxies,

             To sleep in a star,

Floating up there

With no limits

In a pretty picture –

                            To be more than you are
