I open my window to get some fresh air. I lay back down and look up at the ceiling, wishing I was laying under the night sky, looking up at the stars.
The sound of cars rushing by comforts me. It is familiar, like home. I wonder where all these people are going at midnight.
I should be sleeping. Little kids are most likely asleep. Teenagers who need to go to school tomorrow are asleep. Even adults who are expected at work tomorrow are in their beds, sleeping.
Then who are these people that are outside now, driving somewhere? Do they have a direction in mind, or are they wandering aimlessly, hoping they will find the place they don’t even know they are looking for?
Are they going home, or leaving home? If it is nighttime, they should be asleep.
Then why do I hear so many cars driving by?
I close my eyes and let the noise wash over me. I laugh at the child in me, wondering all these things. And I hope that child doesn’t disappear, because of all the adults in this world who try to quiet it.
Sleep comes. I have so many questions, so much to learn, but it’ll have to wait until morning.
Get glow in the dark star stickers for your ceiing :)
ReplyDeletei wouldnt know where to buy them.
ReplyDeleteand as much as i like glow in the dark stuff, i like sleeping in the dark better. i recently started covering my alarm clock with a towel at night cuz the blue light of the numbers makes the room bright.
