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.
