lying wide awake

something takes me back to one of the most peaceful times in my life. past midnight and everyone is a sleep, the soft breeze feels just right on my warm skin. i walk up the steps from below, create a comfortable bed from the blankets and pillows i brought and lie looking up at the clearest of skies no sounds but that of the ocean against the boat and the breeze flowing through the trees from the island. the best place to stargaze has to be the middle of the ocean, no lights for miles, just dimmly lit lanterns you could barely see on the island. my favorite moment of that trip. as i eased into the sweetest sleep. i love sleeping outside.
