Stellar

I stare into the black abyss above me.

My arms are folded on my stomach,

Retaining my little warmth.

The dewy grass is cool,

Leaving little beads of water

On my skin.

I am dumbfounded

By the sight.

Tiny specks of light

Shine above,

Creating pictures.

Orion.

Cepheus.

Cassiopeia.

I try to spot them in the sky.

For a moment,

I am lost in space.

I marvel at its beauty.

However,

As I avert my gaze,

I see the dark purplish light

Grazing the treetops.

The city lights,

polluting the beautiful sky.

It reminds me 

Of reality.

I take one last moment with the stars,

Imagining myself in the dark nothingness,

And rise to my feet.

As I walk back inside,

The colossal stars,

Appearing so tiny,

Stay transfixed above.

They are stellar,

and I am just

average.
