Ad Astra (To The Stars) by Alex Pryce

I lift my eyes ad astra
As if the enormity
Could fit in the black pin of an eye.

I lift my eyes as astra
And let the starlight trickle past
As time travels, and light bends and breaks.

I lift my eyes ad astra
As shooting stars scar the night
And the moon crawls towards morning.

I lift my eyes ad astra
When the orange scares the night
And stars, shying away, become no more.
