Cosmic Desert 

Walking along the hot desert sands. 
Day turns to dusk, and I look at my hands. 

Up ahead a blue light, a stairway to space, 
My breath starts to quicken, my heart starts to race. 

But then I’m consoled by a canvas so fetching. 
A cosmic miracle, a scene that goes stretching. 

Animals of earth, mirrored in the sky, 
I squint my eyes and let out a sigh. 

Woken at dawn, by new day’s light. 
Just another dream, but oh what a sight.
