When I Was 12

When I was very young. Late one night all alone.
The street lights where dull. The sky was clear.
I watched in Awe as across the night sky was a sphere.
The moon to the left was quite bright.
The sphere silent and large to my right.
The night was cold I didn’t want to linger.
But time was lost. The sphere was gone.
Being out around 3am as a child. 
Would have made my parents go wild.
I wonder whatever it was. Some day maybe I will know.
But I will always remember it unto my last breath.
And maybe I will see them again after my death?

Awe, this reminds me of my Rota island. We'd be camped out at our front yard at night just to watch the stars. This is lovely and I'm sure you'll meet them someday too :)
