When I look up at the stars, my soul sings.
My mind is quieted, the world stops revolving and time stands still.
The song is strange; otherworldly.
The moon shines silver on the shimmery notes, which ascend in a wavering path towards the stars.
The song goes on and on in a language I've never heard. It sounds happy at times and sad at others.
Sometimes it is absolutely heartbreaking and sometimes, the song is over joyous, fast-paced and zealous.
After what seems an eternity, the song stops and my soul pants, waiting, straining, listening, hoping for an answer.
Suddenly, my soul shudders and tries to run, but it is stuck in place by fear.
The stars begin to twinkle and my soul's song is answered with a new song, foreign as the one it sang.
As suddenly as the new song began, it ends.
The stars stop twinkling and a gentle breeze blows, caressing my shoulders, lingering for just a moment.
And my soul is at peace, ready to begin again. I check my watch; it's been just five minutes.
I just talked to God!
I smile and turn away, back towards my house.
