Blue ocean of vast stars

Why do you sparkle so beautifully?

Is there a reason

Why you won't let me touch those beautiful twinkles swimming around?

It is so beautiful

I feel as though it's just out of reach

Maybe if I get on my tip-toes

I could reach you?

Rake my hand through your cold,

empty ocean

of stars and deep blue darkness

May I do that?

Black hands grow out from the ground,

blocking my vision,

but not completely.

Branches just get in the way

They make it harder to reach out to you

Dear blue ocean of nothing but vast stars.

I may not ever reach you

Or touch those beautiful twinkles

But please

Let me continue admiring you-

Sweet ocean of mine.
