By Emily Radebaugh…

I’m counting stars

Until they fill my space

And I gain hope

To continue to the moon

Because my path is dark

And I have no idea

Where I’m going

But when I do

I’ll be out of this world

And I’ll be a kind of free

That lets me know

It’s okay to give

All my secrets away

And they’ll light up

All the dark craters

Of the stars in my space
