Like We're Made of Starlight


Do you ever feel like doing crazy things without caring who is looking?

Do you ever feel like going out in the middle of the night and just spinning and spinning and spinnnnnnning around under the moon, like you're made of starlight?
Do you ever feel like laughing your freest without caring who may be looking?
Do you ever feel like smiling broadly and waving at strangers as you go past them?
Do you ever feel like jumping with joy at the smallest things and just going wild?
Do you ever feel like sitting on a tabletop with your feet dangling above the ground and just swinging your legs?
Do you ever feel like running along the shoreline of the sea splashing water at your friends?
Do you ever feel like standing near the sea with a foot in, running it along the loose sand and tossing around the embedded pebbles?
Do you ever feel like collecting the prettiest shells from the beach, dusting them carefully and then just releasing them into the sea with your arms wide open with a big-big laugh?
Do you ever feel like putting on music real loud and just dancing crazy steps? Pretending you're the best rock star around when you're actually the family's bathroom singer?
Do you ever feel like riding on the wind like Aladdin's carpet and letting it take you wherever it goes?
Do you ever feel like taking your mama's hand and just giving her a whirl and a swoosh! all by surprise?
Do you ever feel like giving neighborhood kids big hi5's! totally randomly when coming back from university and laughing with them as you make your way home?
Do you ever feel like opening up OneNote on your laptop and just writing out your silly thoughts in the middle of serious study?
Do you ever feel like taking colorful markers and doodling on a paper with your li'll cousins? Drawing silly pictures and making balloons with 'Hey! This is you!' written inside? Showing them to each other and just collapsing into fits of laughter?
Do you ever feel like pinching your cousins on the ear and then having them chase you round and round the house, jumping over beds and sofas for a return pinch?
Do you ever feel like making big soap bubbles with your cousins when you wash hands together in the washbasin and blowing them at each others' face?
Do you ever feel like shaking your head and smiling while brushing your teeth, toothbrush suspended between your mouth and hand? Looking at your cousins in the bathroom mirror doing the same and laughing amid the foam like eeeeeeee?

Sometimes it feels great just to stop thinking about serious things and do the crazy stuff.
For, it's great to be young and free like we're made of starlight!


 

'And we were dancing, dancing,
Like we're made of starlight, starlight.
Don’t you see the starlight, starlight?
Don't you dream impossible dreams?'
