The Sky and Me


I'm the mysterious
man,
walking up the hill
to see the huge planets get aligned.

I look up, and see the
big moon and the rest
of the beautiful planets,
they look so mysterious in
the big, dark sky.

The planets are almost aligned,
I'm almost at the top of the hill.
It's so beautiful, all of the planets,
they look as close as I can grab them,
but they're miles away.

In a couple of seconds,
the planets will be aligned
and I will be at the top of the hill.
Then I will go home and dream happily
until morning, and it will be another day.
Too bad it has to end so soon.
