Magic At Midnight


I lie down on the soft, wet grass and look at the clear, star-studded sky. The ground falls away below me and soon I am floating in this magical space illuminated by millions of sparkling lights. The planet below me suddenly feels small and inconsequential. The sheer beauty of this endless vista steals any word that comes to my lips. No longer a mortal, i become one with the cosmos. A meteor streaks across the sky and i automatically close my eyes and make a wish. I open my eyes and look at the stars. One winks at me. I smile and wink back. The stars whisper deep secrets to me. Tales lost in time. And they hold me in thier gentle embrace and rock me to sleep. And as i slowly drift off, a light smile lingers on my face and i realize i'ld live forever among these immortal celestial beings.
