Watch the Skies

By The Soup Chef

She always loved to watch the skies.

It was just part of who she was.

During the day,

she'd watch the massive cotton balls roll

over a vast sea

of blue.

The best time to look up though,

was at night.

Sometimes she'd study the stars with the help of a telescope.

At other times---

she'd gaze with the naked eye.

The stars were a bigger, brighter part of her

mysteries upon mysteries

untold stories that were 

light years away and yet somehow,

she still felt a connection to them.

On some nights,

the stars shone a little less bright.

but she still knew they were there.

On other nights,

She felt as though she could just reach out, 

and feel the smooth little diamonds 

in the palm of her hand.

She always loved to watch the skies.
