The Stars

Tamara Parrott 2003 (Creston)



She opens her eyes, looks up at the stars
She feels at peace here, like she's one with the night sky
The smell of the campfire fills her nose
The crisp night air sends a chill through her bones
She wishes he was here
She knows how much he would've loved this
She feels a tear slide down her face
It tingles but she doesn't wipe it away
She feels his presence, standing next to her like a ghost
She sits on the rocky ground, watching the star-filled sky
The stars are her only friend, out here in the wild
She gets up to feed the fire
She watches the flames move, as though the embers are dancing, subtle and lonely
She looks up at the stars, feeling calm and content
She breathes contently, knowing she's finally where she needs to be
