I travel in a living dream
of sailing between the stars
which wink at me as I pass by
and cast their silvering light

upon my night,
changing my eyes of brown
to purple and shadows
of clear amethyst
to the blues of giants
to greens dim and dark

Reflected in my aura
that moves along the wake
of my boat composed
of memories, both the sweet
and the sharp

My boat shaped like a moon
crescent with ends and peaks
pale yellow of sun reflected
and shadowed with the past
of eclipses and lunar quakes

My goals to see a nova shatter
to sail beyond the minds sunset
to push the boundaries I have made
to  meet and greet the new unknown
to find an atoms subset

My boat rocks gently heaving
upon a dragged time frame
escaping with twists and turns
while dark matter plays its game
of  sublime hide and seek

I straighten my road with paddles
made of left over quasars
I sip a drink of singularity
and pause to admire the colors
of past and present stars
