Ode to Stars

Moonlight is my moonshine,

Orion my opium.

Cassiopeaia is cocaine to me

Perseus my pills.


Standing under the watchful eyes

Of seven sisters

And gazing upon them

In wonder,


I am addicted,

Enthralled,

By the treasures of the

Night sky.


Moonshine is nothing;

Moonlight is everything

What pleasures do I need

When I stand underneath billions of them?
