Deep Blue

I lay down, feeling the prickly grass on my back,
Staring at the sky.
I wait for the sun to go down
to see the stars that come out at night.
As I watch the sky moving,
I know that time is moving, too,
But I can't move, I'm hypnotized,
by the heavens in the blue.
I wonder where up there I'll float,
when its my time to die.
Will it be gorgeous up there too?
Even when its NOT night?
The moon, like a ghost
Shines down on the earth.
I cannot get enough,
I'm greedy there's a dearth.
Stars, twinkling twilight
tonight surrond me.
Of all of earth's burdens,
At night I am free.
