Just me and the stars

All by myself
just me and the stars
All is quiet
except for the sound of passing cars

I can almost touch them
as I swing higher and higher
toward the twinkling lights
engulfed by fire

Their radiance and beauty
make me feel so small
like an insignificant leaf
on a tree during fall

I'm no spaceman
but I can see
noone can touch them
especially me

Even in false hope
I still can try
to snatch a star
straight from the night sky

Dreams are said
to take you far and wide
but even they have limits
bound and tied
