I looked up at the stars
from the bay

and the light absorbed
all my dismay

the smell of the waves
and the flickering shine

were something only
so divine

a long-owed flashback
with tendencies

to recall the world
befriending me

a long forgotten
sort of thing

but now I could hear
the echoes ring

the sound of
all my childish passions

had been so strewn
in social fashions

but the stride of my
young hippocampus

remembered something
like Atlantis

a land so magically
far far away

something strong
with different ways

the death of a star
from millions of miles

I sat and stared
just for a while

then wondered
what Earth may look like

to someone else
in a different life

so far away
in a different time

a small white dot
in an endless chime

a pair of eyes
possibly glancing

back at me
as if we were dancing

together as one
in harmony

performing just what
karma needs

from separate worlds
and separate breeze

connected by
the soul intrigued

in a breadth of air
and a solar stream

I come back down
and see my feet

a simple girl
with simple needs

but as I walk
right down the beach

I glance back up
and lose my speech

dreams adrift
that go unnoticed

the stars bring back
and make me focus

without a beach
there'd be no dream

without a thought
there'd be no seem

a seagull's chirp
and other things

all bring me back
to what I need

and as I wonder
and life continues

I take myself
to different venues

and as the waves
keep crashing in

I smile for all
that is within
