Stepping Stones

 

I walked the black of night’s sky

On stepping stones made of stars

Splashing pools of stardust

Chasing a dream’s escape

That wanes in distance afar

Leading away from life itself

Away from the moon’s luring whisper

While she dances and glides her arc

Leaving me on an unfamiliar path

Freeing me to the fear of forever

To a dream never imagined, or wished

A dream from which I could never return

Where I must live my waking eternity

Wandering the glowing stones path

Carrying the burden of a truths weight

Never buried deep enough

And in the folly of sleep, allowed to escape
