Late one night, a little girl
Was tucked into her bed
With sleep elusive, she turned
her thoughts to the sky instead

She drank in the moon- a giant ball
with which the stars were playing
And countless other wonderous thoughts
Were forgotten without saying

An ambitious lawyer, cried her tears
Almost without detection
The scum of humanity soon forgotten,
In her kitten's furry perfection...

A lonely teen, his young heart breaking
With pain of love unrequited
Looked up one night and swore he swore
A supernova newly ignited

Unspoken thoughts, forgotten dreams
Flying kisses that miss their mark
Become the stars that light our way
Our beacons in the dark

They beam down these emotions
With their glorious heavenly fire,
And that is why a starlit sky
Will never fail to inspire!

The soul would have no rainbows, had the eyes no tears.

Awesome and then some!

The first two stanzas don't match with the rest of the poem for me.  They start simple and beautiful then change to serious and beautiful. The moon description seems like it could be more interesting.  Still over all awesome.
