Swimming With The Stars

I saw myself a lake of stars As I walked past the lake last night They reminded me of a thousand burning cigars As they seemed near, and were so very bright, I watched them as they shone and glimmered Then out of curiosity I tossed a stone into the lake And then the stars they all shook and shimmered As then to the shore came their quake, Stars of thousands I could easily see And they all were inside this small lake They brought me joy and also glee That one moment in time I will never forsake, Just think that all the stars that were in the sky Were now in this one small body of water And the moon as well, she was nearby As the mother is always close to her daughter, So into the lake I went in for a swim I then swam with the moon and all the stars I did it without thinking as it was just a whim And while in the lake, I swam towards mars.
