Milky Way


To where does the daylight disappear?

Once it was quite bright,

But now twilight is near

And onward approaches the night

Once I was youthful,

Full of crazy dreams

Life was fresh and truthful

Now it’s ripped at the seams

I rub my eyes to try to clear

my dim and foggy eyesight,

Knowing there’s nothing to fear

From the return of the night

A dark blanket cover,

As warm and soft as silk

Wraps me like a lover,

I drift away on stars dipped in milk
