Stars

I sit down and stare at the cloudy night sky. I could hear the leaves rattle, dogs in distress and an odd sound seeming to come out of a cricket. I gazed at the giant gray sheet covering the sky, and suddenly, I see a a shining speck of light peeking out through the clouds. It seemed small but I knew it wasn't. It was just the beginning of millions of stars. And just like that, even though I was alone, I didn't feel lonely.
