February Twilight

Sara Teasdale By more Sara Teasdale

I stood and watched the evening star
As long as it watched me.

It gives me a certain joy to be in a place in the forest or a shore or anywhere in nature and imagine that I'm the only person who has ever been in that exact spot. As a young boy, I would wander off into the woods near my house and find a quiet, clear spot and just sit, watch, and think. It was fun. I did it often.
