Among the stars
A planet dreams
And in the skies
A snowflake sighs.

Among the dreams
Among the sighs
Darkness walks
Wearing night.

With lonely eyes
It cannot see
With hungry mind
It cannot think.

Alone it cries
But cannot feel
Alone it seeks
Again in vain.

And so it goes
Back to the sky
Back to the stars
Back to its home

To dream no more.
