It's Too Far To Reach

By Bruce Clifford

I’m touching the sun
Am I the only one
The strengthening of a dimming light
Curiosity of a cosmic flight

I’m going for broke
Am I the lonely joke
The mediocrity in a distant void
Curiosity wings deployed

It’s too far to reach
It’s so out of reach
It’s too far to reach
It’s so out of reach

I’m touching the moon
Am I on a balloon
The radiation in a dimming night
Broken wings as the day takes flight

It’s too far to reach
It’s so out of reach
It’s too far to reach
It’s so out of reach

We have so far to go
We reach for the glow
It’s too far to reach
It’s so out of reach

I’m kissing the sky
Am I not knowing why
The energy of a fading light
Darkness of moonless night
