Vega
I lay back in the grass...
Oh that summer
70 degree scent...
Gazing up at the night sky...
slowly disconnecting
from our planet
Levitating
Rising
past the fleeting fireflies...
...the tired night flights
heading to Europe
Constellations...
mysteries
of the night
My eyes are
invariably drawn
to Vega...
I'm not really sure why....
maybe it's the fact
that at just 25 light years away
it's one of our closest neighbors..
maybe i love the fact that
the light that I now see
departed during the heady
summer nights...of '92...
when I was all of 18
a carefree boy....
sitting at a fire
The light
of my unburdened smile....
just reaching vega
......tonight
.
