To the stars

He tries relentlessly, reaching out to the stars
For they are too high
And he doesn’t care for scars

The ambition is strong, the will undeterred
Night and day he works,
Everything else was just blurred

Sometimes he would delude, but then remember his goal again
He would resume on his stride,
Picking up his pace main

He was joined by others but he has his vision on the stars set
No matter what happened,
He would not settle for anything less

People came and left but he went on, for he believed his belief
That the stars he was headed towards,
Held an end to all his grief

He looked down and reveled as he had come a long long way
The mighty world was down under,
The heights he attained was way too great

He stepped ahead with bated breath, as he finally found himself standing in stars amidst
Stretched out his hand to feel them
but they dissolved as if made of mist

Startled he looked around, to question what just happened if in a myth
He was standing at the peak he always dreamt of,
Without a soul to share his success with.
