as i looked toward the heavens on this one dark starry night i was in search of a shooting star i was back home on this one night where i was raised just standing out in the countryside in the tall grassy plains hearing the sounds of the night creatures a locus here a cricket there even in the far distance i could hear the yelp of coyotes yes out here the sky is clear especially on this one dark starry night without even a single cloud in the sky on a new moon and then it finally came just before the dawn sun rose i saw a shooting star in the far eastern sky
