Exploration of a Dreamer

ASHLEY CURTICE

Looking to the stars,

they’re calling me.

I can hear my name,

floating,

through the vast universe.

Wanting to be up there

in the celestial abyss,

to frolic in my dreams

and explore the unanswered questions

of this wondrous place.

My heart flies up to the sky

to dance with the moon

as we watch the earth spin by.

The things we could uncover

gives me child-like excitement.

My heart and mind merge together in harmony,

on an epic journey through the darkness,

while my feet stay planted on terrestrial soil,

never hearing the countdown for takeoff.
