You know very well
that there are stars
in the sky
and planets
among them.
so even though your hands
cannot reach
that high
in a dream
you fly happily
over there.
you want the moon
to be
the cradle of that dream
and you
a child who wanders
through those highs;
a child
among those planets
and the stars
who knows that the world
is only
a small toy—
a truly small toy
in the arms
of
the universe.
