To the starlit sky...

...that I haven't seen in what seems like an eternity. You have enthralled me, though I may have seen brighter skies, your surprising presence has bewitched me. Looking up at you, I can't help, but thank the Lord for blessing me with eyes to see and a heart to appreciate the simplicity of something that could be deemed as simple and even mundane.

I remember the old days of when you were filled with more stars that I couldn't even begin to count and I look forward to nights like those as I know that this is just the beginning of brighter nights and clearer days. I know I will be filled with them. In fact, I'm sure. If not tomorrow, the next day, or the next... And I hope that when that day comes, I will still be able to appreciate the little things and be thankful that I do.

And so to you my dear starlit sky, I bid goodnight. Know that I am hoping for thousands of nights like you and that I will never lose hope. Sweet dreams.


As Always,
D.
