I lay down on the long, lush grass

The crisp cool air of the evening makes me shiver

I look up

And stare at the millions of stars on an inky black canvas

Like lanterns floating in the sky

Some clustered like gathering friends

Some distant like voyagers traversing the endless sky

A bright white light suddenly zips through the sky

Piercing the stillness of the lake of stars

Only for a split second, leaving behind a trail of dust

Then, stillness again
