Falling Star
I tip my chin skywards
The midnight blue consumes my view
The wind plays amongst my hair
As the noise of silence fills my ears
I am alone with my thoughts
I close my eyes
And become swept away
By the peacefulness of nature
I am aware of no one
Nothing is a concern
As I lie flat on the grass
Fresh with dew
The coolness consumes
My body, my mind
I am nature’s child
Enjoying all that is offered
This natural mediation
Destroys my fears
Relieves me of all burdens
My feelings are no longer
My confusion- nonexistent
I am unaware of the presence
Forgot I wasn’t alone
Until you trailed my cheek
With a tender kiss
At once my bond with
Nature was broken
I was once again
Running from the world
I felt your touches
That evoked new emotions
I remembered once more
The vivid turmoil
The mindless state I was in
But those feelings were replaced by others
As I looked into the diamond-filled void
“See that star?”
I asked you hesitantly
“It’s falling for you,
Just as I am.”
