Sailing atop the clouds this night,
I reach up with the universe gliding
between my fingertips,
painting the sky
with swirling starshine.

and they say the sky is the limit. nice piece on elation, success and the wish to keep reaching higher. but above that, the unselfishness to grant others their wishes – painting the sky with stars.

This is beautiful. It feels like words from a well-done picture book – the kind that would have soft-edged, water-colored illustrations.
