I stood still
My face lifted skyward
Leaning onto the balls of my feet
As though ready to lift off
Into the night air
And I smiled, then,
Opening my eyes to
Greet the stars
And then opening
My mouth
To sing a song back to them
The more you are quiet,
The more you notice how everything sings
And you can stop making so much rude noise
And learn instead how to sing along with
And for them
