star gazing

I looked up at the stars
and felt small.
Life gets put into perspective 
when looking out to 
the unknown.
The autumn breeze
blew against my skin.
I felt cozy underneath
my blanket.
I gazed up at
the universe 
searching for satellites
and shooting stars 
but only found planes
in a sea of constellations
and spaces not known.
The moon wasn’t around
leaving the stars to shine
bright enough over
the horizon
to be captured
in photos
taken on my phone.
