All I Needed to See
November 16, 2016
I stared up at the sky;
Empty, dark vastness.
Just like every night,
I saw nothing tonight.
Each night, I looked,
I looked for inspiration
Each night, I found nothing.
All I saw were the stars and moon.
I tried the next night
Nothing
And the night after that,
Nothing
I kept on trying
I tried and I tried.
After he left, I tried again.
And tonight, I did not see inspiration.
I saw beauty.
Beauty in the stars and New Moon.
And that my friend, was all I needed to see.

The "he" part in this piece is left open for the reader's inference. This poem is written to help the reader imaigne what it would be like for a certain worry to leave.
I imagined my "certain worry" dissipating and this is what I felt. I hope anyone who reads this feels the same.
