Stars

Sometimes I try to count the the stars in the sky.

But I always drop after about thirty. 

Forgetting where I left off.

Losing myself in the beauty.

Entrapped in the wonder of it all.

Falling through the dark,

To the loose ends of space.

To the dark that envelopes my eyes.

With the stars to guide me through it all.

The silence making it seem like I could go forever.

Until the soft hum of music takes me back.

And an odd stare from you.

"Sorry, I just got kinda lost."

I say with a smile as I go back to gazing,

At the universe in you.
