Every night, stars travel the sky
They pack their bags
Kiss their wives goodbye
We point our telescope up for good view
The screen fades to black
The Milky Way takes its cue
The stars reveal themselves, one at a time
The spotlight's on them
Quiet moving like mimes
Acting out stories, they play for us mortals
Looking below
They give a good chortle
Feasting above at their decadent banquets
While we drink hot chocolate
And are warmed by a blanket
Myths were once truth
As our non-fiction books say
Ancient tales lost to youth
They drift away
