Stars by Abbi Wharton

Stars

Do you ever lean back on

the cool summer grass at night

and look up at the stars?

Do you ever see the pictures?

Do you ever connect the dots?

Do you hear the stories about

dippers and bears and warriors

and such?

Do you admire the beauty

of the inky black blue sky

and the twinkling nightlights

trapped inside,

like fireflies in a spider’s web?

Have you ever wondered

what they’re made of?

Maybe gas and light

or fireflies and rain?

Maybe angels and dreams?

Have you ever watched them appear

as the sun is chased off to bed?

Have you ever watched them disappear

as they drift away to play again soon?

So have you ever leaned back

on the cool summer grass

and wondered what I

have wondered?
