I would sail across the sky

I would sail in a ship
across the sky
watching the stars
come out one by one

Dancing and playing
in the sky
as the baby stars
fall asleep in the clouds

I would use my telescope
to search the sky
looking for shapes
that the stars make

I would write them down
one at a time
recording them
in my log

Then in the morning
I would watch the sun
as it begins to rise
greeting me with a smile

As the days goes on
the clouds begin to change
and then it starts to rain
but it is ok my ship sails high above and away

I am protected from the rain
and get to look real close
and see the how small a raindrop
really is and try to count them as they fall

 

After the mighty storm

the sun begins to shine

and then a rainbow appears

and it colors the sky

 

Taking away all the gloom

from the storm

the sun smiles

and does a dance

 

Celebrating the stopping of the rain

beautiful rays are everywhere

as my boats continues

to sail through the sky

 

I see clouds of different shapes

they begin to fill the sky

I lower my boat

so I can go through them

 

They look like cotton candy

and within the clouds

I see birds flying all around

without a worry in the world

 

Letting my ship just sit

I look all around me

everything is still

but life is moving

 

This is my place of peace

I decided today

when ever I am sad

I look to the sky

 

I know there is

something more to life

as I sail again

across the sky

 

Into the sunset

Leaving the beauty behind me

my travel today is done

tomorrow another trip

 

I am not sure

where it will lead

as far as my imagination

will take me

 

Now it is time

to rest my head

for it is time for bed

another day goes to sleep

 

The wind blows gently

singing me to sleep

and the stars

come out smiling

 

With the moon watching

over me as I sleep

keeping me protected

as the clouds cover me

 

I hope that you enjoyed my trip

    Happiness is a poem about the stars and sun and other sky beauties. I especially like the line where the sun dances. I love the image of baby stars sleeping on the clouds. One of your most delightful poems, Genna.
