A Shuttle & a Soul

See if you can figure out what's happening in this poem.

I'll make sure the sky is the perfect shade of blue
Day and night, the birds will sing just for you
^****^*****^*****^*****^*****^*****^*****^*****^*
And while your ashes will stop when you get to the stars
Your soul will go on beyond where they are
^****^*****^*****^*****^*****^*****^*****^*****^*
Tonight you will go where you've always wanted to be
It's finally goodbye, open your eyes and you'll see

Lovely, lovely, lovely. :3 *applauds*

This is wonderful, Ave! I love how you format all your poems. This one has really great imagery too and it flows together really nicely, too.

I especially like this verse...

And while your ashes will stop when you get to the stars
Your soul will go on beyond where they are
