Open sky

Swimming in the stars

By Kathleen SitterPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Night is my peace, where I find my serenity. Quiet all around as I step outside, not a car or person to be found. I walk forward, focusing on the gentle air move through the leaves on my friendly nebiourhood trees. The pavement is solid, grounding me to the earth as each step I take towards the place I ponder. The sound of bunnies runny away through the bushes as they spot me a few feet away. The air tastes sweet and warm on my skin as I approach the field where I find comfort from my life where I often get lost in. I kneel down onto the soft green ocean and lay amongst the earth where the little things that crawl and creep within it.

Rolling over I gaze upon my starry night in awe of the magnificent, wonder I behold. Each star tells me it’s story, as I listen closely. The excitement and journey they tell me is something I clingy onto in hopes I will one day marvel such a great tale myself to tell them. The ones that fly across the dark bluish black sky catch my eye, the twinkle and split moment of breath taking relief is what I long for. Forever I wish to stay in this moment, as I find myself seeing you again amgonst the stars. My love, my darling, you dance with my friends the bright ones.

I touch my hands against the soft land, grounding me back to reality. I open my mouth, to release a quiet goodbye, soft with each letter. I close my eyes, focusing on the sounds around me. An owl near by, and the air through the sweet grass blades. I sit up to open my eyes in complete peace, my soul refreshed and cleansed.

I journey back home, to my safe quiet room to find comfort in my dreams of the nights I often visit. Open sky take me away.
