Little sky dreaming dark. Bat wings beating fast. Boys cruise in fast cars. You and I counting stars. Dinner Mars and Milky Way bars. Lunar dust a lifetime lasts. Solar winds rage silently past.
Big sky dreaming long. Lullaby a rain song. Fire embers empty cans. Last night packing empty bags. Tent silence woods still. Poetry whispers lips chilled. Chant under big sky.
