There were nights when all I could see
were the glistening of stars.
With radiance shown through the galaxy
from beyond the cosmos
The night was beauty of the sky.
Time passed with no words
The only noise I could hear
was the wind whistling through my ears as I laid flat on the cold earth.
I closed my eyes for a second
Breathing was stable and I felt one with the earth
Somewhere else the world was turning and people were moving
but not me, my eyes were closed
Everything was in it's right place.
When it came to be I opened my eyes.
The night sky was dark again as though all the stars suddenly burst
into dust like a clear window into space
The moment had fled away with time.
I got up, brushed the dirt off and
with my hands in my pockets, I walked to the city lights.
