Counting the stars

It helps with stress

We sit on a blanket in the grass looking at the stars

Counting them

Loving them

Hoping they will never leave us for that moment

The night is calming

The stars are bright

Something then shoots across the sky

A shooting star

You then wish

Wish that we stay here in this moment forever 

Forever counting the stars

[John the Baptist]

I did indeed enjoy. This brief offering describes in simple but elegant terms one of those moments we all long to experience, the appearance of a shooting star on a clear night. The poem concludes with the speaker wishing to stay in the moment forever. Mindfulness is a wonderful thing, sometimes hard to achieve in our busy lives. We all should try to cultivate it. Nice work here.
