Sturdy smiles
Open hearts
Short miles
Pieced parts

Floating on cloud nine
Counting seven, six, five, four...
They spread down the line
An ancient lore

Hearts jumped to the stars
Emotions lept from the trees
Eyes wandered to Mars
Voices sank to their knees

Jupiter swirls
Blood red and white
Blind eyes twirl
Stars soar with might

Looking left
I stared at him
All noble and deft
Landing here on a whim

A flowing crimson cape
Alert, wary eyes
Stood, mouth agape
Watching the skies

Wandering near
I came up behind
Whispered a clear,
Quite quiet rhyme

"Can you fly me to the stars?
The Milky Way and back?
Wings seeming to be,
The one thing I lack..."

Taking my hand,
Didn't require words
He pulled me into his arms
And away we soared
