PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Saturn called me one night

While I was asleep on the floor

He told me to pack all my things

And don't come back here anymore.



We will leave this place

And stay inside the sky

And we wont need anyone else

Itll just be you and I.



I said come here and warm my hands

The ice is coming soon

And what will we do without each other

During our trip to the moon.



We will leave this place

And stay inside the sky

And we wont need anyone else

Itll just be you and I.



Saturn, he said, dont worry about that

Our voices will soon be singing

Above all the treetops in the land

And all our hearts we will be bringing.



We will leave this place

And stay inside the sky

And we wont need anyone else

Itll just be you and I.



But what about the stars, I said

Their pointing hands are dark and black

What will we do if they take us away

And we never come back.



We will leave this place

And stay inside the sky

And we wont need anyone else

Itll just be you and I.



We will stick to our safest paths

And I will hold you high, my Saturn said

And if any rain shall come close to us,

I will make sure to cover our heads.
