\nWhen I was young and my
\nEyes were clear I would look
\nAt the stars on
\nCold nights.\n<\/p>\n
\nThey were close, so close
\nI knew I could
\nTouch them if I
\ngrew a bit taller.\n<\/p>\n
\nIn those days we
\nKnew we would get
\nThere, with rockets and atomic
\nPower\n<\/p>\n
\nOr some strange
\nPower we knew nothing
\nOf that would let
\nUs grow tall.\n<\/p>\n
\nAnd when he took
\nThat one small step we knew
\nThat we were tall
\nEnough.\n<\/p>\n
\nBut we stopped
\nGoing back.\n<\/p>\n
\nNow when I look
\nUp, the stars are
\nNot as bright.
\nI know how far away they are.\n<\/p>\n
\nOr I don’t know. But I
\nKnow I am small and will
\nSoon blink out like that
\nFalling star I saw just now.\n<\/p>\n
\nI know there are few
\nPlaces I can live
\nAnd none out there. I have
\nTo carry here with me.\n<\/p>\n
\nSo what’s the
\nPoint? Little blinky
\nThings, baubles that dazzle the eye
\nI know I can never touch.\n<\/p>\n
\nWe’ll never get there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
