- The Milky Way –

John Herlihy

Our Milky Way a mere galaxy,

A crowd with billions of stars.

Enough to fill us with reverie,

Dreams we can claim as ours.

Cascading down as a waterfall,

With its dreamy waters of light.

Its champagne holds us in thrall,

Evidence of blessing in our sight.

Hearts fill to the brim in wonder,

Eyes awash in colored rainbow.

The silence fills us with thunder,

Pure magic, inspiration and glow.

All that we need to do but stare,

The Milky Way will take us there.
