The stars like diamonds in the sky
bounce off the net of dark void.
my pulse quickens as a shooting
star appears.
burning through the atmosphere, and exploding into dust. Little spots of glitter and a hundred more stars are born.
My heart pounds as I watch this display of miraculous splendor.
I speak out to myself as the stars gem out and smile down on me.

I love to look at the stars.
I love to make up my own constellations. I think the heavans are truely magnificent, and I am completely taken by them.
