• Can I pretend that the planes and helicopters above my home are falling stars?
    The clear night is beautiful. I stick my head out the window (no screen!) and blow kisses, millions of them, to the heavens and my true love in case I never find him. Have you ever looked out a window on a clear night? It's beautiful- dim stars, a streak of white-gray puffy clouds. The sky is a blue-gray; one of my favorite colors. I can dream as I fall asleep on nights like this. The rush of cars on the nearby highway can luul me to sleep, like the crickets in the summer. My sock monkey can comfort me to slumber like a warm embrace.
    I wish I saw more airplanes. I wish upont that still star, the one right above my head; it worked for Pinnochio. Can my dreams come true too? I hope so. I hug my sock monkey and dream that this moment could last forever. A clear spring night frozen in time. My wish seems to come true as I fall asleep.
