The Stars Took My Dreams Poem by Izobelle Pulgo

Dance with the stars
Let my dreams take flight
Watch from afar
The horizon’s finally within my sight.

Veiled with the moon’s shadow
I cowered in fright
Yet a hand reached out
And held me tight.

He raised me up
Looked at me in the eye
I sat in his lap
He asked me why.

Hitching my wagon to a star
I never wondered what place headed we are
Hastily, I let my dreams go
Expecting they will return realized, so and so
Alas, what a fool I’ve been
To watch the stars, never minding the rain.
And with them my dreams they took
Now my life is but an empty book.
