Light Years

Look at those stars

Glistening in the dark sky

Twinkling infinitely

As if they are shy

We call them little stars

But how could we say?

They are the huge flames

That stays in Milky Way

Nobody knows for sure

How far away they are

We only can guess

That they exist there

No matter how far they are

We need not to worry

Just think in this way

Making an inquiry

In mind we are able

To travel that long distance

When we close our eyes

And relax for instance

Listen to these stars

When you are alone

They will speak to you

About the secrets of their own

Open your mind

And invite them inside

You will learn the reality

And see the invisible side

We came into this life

Passing many light years

We are here for a while

Wondering for a few years

Before we return to the destination

Where we expect so long

We need to learn many things

Which will lead us on

We have met while on the life’s journey

We’ll depart at the end

But hope we’ll meet some day

Again in some light years away.
