Clear, star-studded nights are great for getting my mind to turn . . .
________________________________________________________________
When heaven turned to me her gaze,
a gaze she gave in love,
I felt myself on silver wings
go flying up above.
Flying through the stars I went,
and danced amongst the suns,
and to the evening star I went,
when daylight’s turn was done.
Stars went on, and further still,
stretching on to Heaven’s Home,
with these and moons and galaxies
the universe to roam.
Touching down on heaven’s grass,
I saw the waters speak;
and there the earth cried out to me—
a golden tear did streak.
And then the Earth was changed again,
and would not speak to me,
for a sin, this iron heat,
would never let me be.

It's more like, at the time I was experiencing an emotional high, but then my mind started doubting whether I should be feeling as well as I had been. By the time I stopped analysing my happiness, the feeling had passed. reality starts calling me back to Earth.
You said confused? I would say frustrated is better to describe the feeling.

Hey great job! I find it hard to be able to write SHORT poems with even SHORTER lines. (Mine generally are twice as long in both senses - see my 'Artists need hugs' poem). I could actually see this being written as a hymn or limerick. It's got that touch of dream and destiny about it. I like it! Thanks for sharing!
