This sort of fantasy poem came to me when I was still taking ballet. (my love of astronomy shows up here as well)
Stars Within Their Souls
Two shining sisters once joined hands
And laughing dashed through crystal lands
Past the hills and silver shores
To run and play among the stars
They skipped along the Milky Way
Through passion-purple nebulae
And spun into a lovely trance
In a star-dust sprinkled, spiral dance
Then leaping through sparkling screens
And shimmered, mistly, clouds of green
They found themselves in velvet night
Breathing deep the star-filled night
And pirouetting on their toes
They danced with stars within their souls
Then with a sweeping reverance
Following golden streams of dust
They descended back to opal towers
To amber, sun-streamed trees and flowers
And bid farewell, to sleep, and then
They dreamed of when they'd do it again
k.s.
