Amid the stary night <br />Stands a girl beneath a tree. <br />She stands frozen in time. <br />Eyes probing each star <br />Searching for a pattern <br />A reason for thier exsitence. <br />Her hand - as if of its own accord <br />Caresses the rough bark. <br />She has a kinship to the tree and the stars <br />They are her family <br />Her source of happiness <br />Among the teriffying solitude of her lonesome life.<br /><br />McKenzie Spaulding<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/nighttime-wonders/
