The sky was clear as day last night
Save for a few stray clouds in the distance
I saw a star
And then all at once, I saw many stars
They were all twinkling
In unison
As if the great design of nature
Allowed them to do only so
They were copious like sand
And I wished that I could grab them
And fill them in my hands
And I’ll always remember the night
That night one star led me to many
That night I saw the silver shimmer
From stars that could have died ages ago
But their shine has not changed one bit
Over the lightyears
That night the freckled sky
Was dotted with incandescent pebbles
That night the lilac sky
Enveloped all my worries
As I nosedived into the waters of my bed
With the stars
Watching over me
