Those that shine the brightest
appear first
in the once somber sky.
It only seems fitting
that under the stars
is where I collect my thoughts
and guide my wondering mind.
As I lay on my back
and study the expansive scene
painted before my eyes,
my thoughts chase after possibilities
of all that could be.
The stars are the map
that will one day
lead my escape to the heavens,
just out of reach,
that so many before me
have already made
the final journey to.
