Upon a Starship’s Light
Somewhere beyond the valley,
I see the starship rise,
A bright lit shining ornament
Hanging low in the lunar sky.
But I'm stuck here tight in Tranquility,
Dreaming of worlds unseen,
—The unknown peoples and distant minds
Looking up at the night, looking back at me —
Wondering if they too wish on a starship’s light.
