the stars

She gazed up at the stars glistening in the sky like diamonds.

Out here, surrounded by nothing but space and open air, she felt safer than ever.

Her eyes watched, mesmerized, as a single incandescent body shot across the sky into oblivion.

She timidly closed her eyes and leaned onto the palms of her hands, wiling her mind to conjure up the best wish imaginable.

As her wish mumbled through her lips and mind, a smile spread across her rosy cheeks and she felt all the weight lift off her shoulders, her body nearly becoming soulless.

She was finally free.
