Written in the Stars
by Amy Marie Schaefer

"Tell me a story," said the girl on the ground,
to the night sky above her, with dark all around.

She stretched out her frame, and focused above,
her heart heavy with worries from life and from love.

She whispered her troubles, poured out her heart,
as she feasted her eyes on Mother Nature's work of art.

From one star to another, her gaze did a dance,
as her breathing grew steady, comfort found in the vast expanse.

Time stretched before her, the future, the past,
she fell asleep slowly, her soul finding peace at last.

And there in the grass, as she drifted away,
a shooting star flew above her and took her that day.

Now she writes her own stories across Heavenly skies,
on wings soft as whispers, she floats, she flies.
