Born Lonesome

Born lonesome it seems. He always seems so lonely when we talk.

He's actually starting to love the country over there. He said the stars there are beautiful - that you can see more stars in the sky there than he has ever seen anywhere else - even in the deserts of Arizona. The stars spread out like a tapestry. They sparkle like diamonds on black felt.

Now he knows exactly what they mean when they say Milky Way. It's as if God spilled milk across the center of the sky. There are so many stars that they seem to meld with each other.

That's when he said he wished his girl could be there. It's so sad to see him write stuff like that. He said he would like to be out in the middle of nowhere far away from everything and everybody, sit under those stars with her and not have a care in the world- got me all choked up.

When I chatted with him it was a little after 9 PM over there. The stars were out and he was very tired.
