ROCKETS FLY

Sky gold and bright
Turns to dusk
but before
It bleeds a brightest pink
You turn to me and smile

Night changes
Color and taste
All around us
Darker now still
Yet strangely lit
And we in it glowing

Launched into space
Rockets fly
Tearing the dark horizon
With the most radiant blaze
That fills your eyes with starlight

Earth left behind
Our feet
No longer grounded
I look around
And there you are
Zooming past me

Gone is the night
There is no time
There’s no matter
And our flight
Is so furious and
So exciting

Launched into space
Rockets fly
Tearing the dark horizon
With the most radiant blaze
That fills your eyes with starlight

Light
That’s what we are
Like two rockets
In the night sky
Launched into space
Rockets fly
Tearing the dark horizon
With the most radiant blaze
That fills your eyes with starlight

Launched into space you and I
Deep into far horizons
In silent wonder burning bright
On our night flight
