Counting stars

The sky looks so lonely
all dark in the vast space ahead
the stars were rare
and the moon is nowhere to be seen

I was there sitting at the corner
looking up at the dark sky
wondering when will the stars appear
and lighten up the gloomy sky

It was nothing but darkness
with no glint of light
just a flicker, a twinkle
of some lone star in the sky

I wish it could be lively again
just like it has always been
where I would sit there
and enjoy counting stars
