Stars in a Beaded Strand

Endless above

The universe spreads

A wild and brilliant path

Spreading out to take me away

Take me far away from the dusty world

The soil and grime,

The heaviness of mortality

But above, above

There is so much more

Endless life, endless dreams

Stars and dust

Beauty, limitless and free

Spreads away from me

I reached out to cup the moon

And held it in my hand

Plucked each star above

To make a beaded strand

Around my neck these stars will lie

The endless promise the universe will keep

With opportunity to forever dream

Each star reminds me

Around my neck the universe spreads

An Endless string dreams
