She laid on the ground
to take in the sky
and after awhile
she let out a sigh.
She gazed at the stars
all blinking and bright
with her hand tracing lines
all through the night.
“Is there a heaven?
I don’t know for sure,
but this sky of wonder
makes me feel so secure.
I wish there could be
a place after death
where I could find peace
and have no regrets.
The infinite universe
scares me at times,
but maybe someday
in it, I’ll be fine.”
