Write a poem about the experience of dancing under the stars.
Starlight Dance
We’ve been there,
in the velvet where the other
planets lay peacefully
nestled in permanent storms,
encircled in forever crowns.
We’ve been there,
on the dusty little rock
that pulls the vast oceans
as it whistles by
super, harvest fixture
in the black night sky.
We’ve been there,
away from our home
or perhaps drifting
through places we belong
ever expanding, ever careening
in the milky galaxy.
We’ve been there.
And though I am no astronaut
I have no need, for I see
the perfection in the universe
from right here,
dancing with you under the stars.
