They say if you shoot for the moon you'll land among the stars,
but wht if it's a clear night and there are no stars
or a cloudy night and no moon to aim for?
What then?
Would you aim for the sky and land in the air?
Aim for the trees and land in the leaves?
Or just stay ground? Glued to this planet because of gravity
would you wait?
Wait for a star to shoot across the sky?
Or hope to land somewhere when you feel your way blinded?
