Night Glitters

See the beauty of the night. I hear the wind blowing as if... it's over the ocean. I look up to the sky and see the stars, so many stars. I pause - I hear the crunching under my feet. I see a shooting star shoot halfway accross the sky and I think it's for me. I close my eyes to make a wish and I hope I'm not missing any more. I open my eyes and forget about the wish, because part of me thinks these wishes don't matter. I turn what feels like 180 degrees to see the big dipper from a different angle, and it spins 360 degrees. The familiar dog barking of the neighbors... I'm sure he's heard me come home. It's 130am, January 30th 2011. I still hear the wind blowing, passing it all by. I see a temporary cloud off in the sky; it'll be gone by morning. It is a beautiful night. I do not see the moon. Perhaps, it is a new moon. It is cold but I do not feel the cold. I see the glitter in the sky, and the big dipper above me, showering its sparkles on my life.
