i don't know how old i was, 8 or 10.
I climbed out the window
onto the roof of the garage.
it was summer.
I lied down
and gazed at the stars for hours.
i reached to touch moonbeams,
and with my finger
drew a circle around the north star.
i dissolved into the hush of stars
free of want or need.
a single heart beat.
I, the wind, moon, stars.
I long to lie on the roof, again,
gaze at the stars
and filled with wonder.
