Belonging

Above the space
Among countless stars
The moon was rising

I came out and
Lit up my cigarette
Under a tree
Looking at a tree

I felt
That I am belonged
To the earth
As if trees

I felt
That I am belonged
To the universe 
As if stars 
And the moon

Though not to you
I came back
After the smoke
Disappeared
