Starry

As I step outside onto the front porch,
All that's there is the dark night sky and the cold midnight breeze on my face.
I feel alone,
There’s nothing,
I see nothing,
I feel nothing. 

But then,
I look up.
Little sparkling shimmers of light fill the dark evening sky. 
Everywhere I look there's a new and even brighter one. 

When I turn back around to go in,
I decided to look up one last time at all the wonders.
That’s when I saw it, 
The brightest shimmer of all,
 falling through the sky.
What could it be?
I run inside to find my family to show them the amazing wonder. 

Hurrying to get back outside,
We looked up,
 and it was gone.
I am beyond disappointed. 
I don’t know what to feel,
What to say,
What to think. 

I hang my head down in disappointment. 
Little did I know,
Laying there between my two bare feet,
The perfect silhouette of a newly fallen star.
