The Stars

As I lay down, the grass tickles
along my skin.
I stretch my arms and legs out, wide like a starfish.
As I rest, the cold wind lightly sweeps
back and forth across my face.

Up in the sky,
the warm, gentle blue sky,
the stars seeming so perfectly placed,
shine ever so brightly.

The comforting glow of the moon
beams down across us.
The sound of chatter,
the sound of traffic,
all blurred out, by the peacefulness of this place.

A place surrounded by the sparkling stars.
Somewhere where you can do nothing but rest.
Who knew one place could be so calming?
