Beyond

Light with twinkling fingers
dips deeply into the mind,
softly stroking through suggestions and secrets
about life outside one's very gaze.

We spell the night with a quiet envy
wondering about
what mysteries are swallowed
by the blackness.

Listening intently with one's imagination
their stories unfold
through the sparkle of images
where we feel that most burning of questions.

Ever curious
if some other pair of eyes
looking up at the same sky
from a different alien world
is asking the same curiosity probe
reaching with thoughts,
hoping it will grace
through some sign of more.

Beyond is the hope in tomorrow
lying where only our heart flies,
nestled in comfort of believing
there is more than one pulse
as friend among the stars.
