Sky of The Unknown

Sky of the unknown,
How deep is the night?
Stars and the moon,
With a blinking new light.

Wishes of all eternity,
Lightyears from here;
Things we never will see,
Even though we stare.

Far, far and in the mist,
Blissful mornings come;
Knowledge and our thirst,
Steady beat with a hum.

Burning faraway fires,
Turning ways in the dark;
Futures of our desire,
Flying with a spark.

Sky of the unknown,
Coming all so soon;
Like the dusky gown,
Midnight's dream in June.
