        I TOUCHED THE STARS
        By ... Steve Lucky

The stars were out in front of me
And I reached out and touched them.
Stars may be considered hot
But I felt a chill inside of me
As I reached out to touch them.
Some people have a chance to touch the stars
Yet never reach out to them
Content with what is familiar to them.
Being overwhelmed by it all,
I sometimes wonder if touching the stars
Was indeed the right thing to do.
Everyday things can be torn apart
Once it is discovered the stars are
Not as they appear to be.
Maybe my own opinion
Does not make any difference
To the stars themselves.
On the other hand, maybe it does.
Somehow this makes it all worthwhile
Because the stars have touched me.
