It really upsets me how you can’t see stars where I live.
You get a few, but no more than what you can count on your fingers and toes.
A lot of people might think it’s ridiculous how much I think about this,
but I just think there is something so beautiful
about how you can look up at the same patch of sky every night
and always discover a new picture.
The sad thing is, where I live, people forget that stars even exist.
They dont take the time to look up at the sky or connect the dots
because they already know that there is such a lack of beauty in our skies.
Why must some parts of the country be deprived more than others?
People who appreciate what little things the world has to offer
should be allowed the full experience
of looking up into the sky at night
and being so mesmerized that you forget you are standing
upon the soil of planet Earth…
and you just float away.
You float away into the atmosphere
and you are so close to the little bundles of light
that you feel like you can reach out and grab one
and stick it in your pocket to keep forever.
You are at one with the stars.
And you are lost.
But you have no desire to find your way back home.
