I found a dead snake once long ago when I was just a little girl.How stange it seemed to me then, that this one did n't move like the others. 
 
 It's skin was a dark ebony, the small drops of dew making it seems as if this little thing was made of the night sky. Perhaps it was a creature from heaven? But then agian, would a creature from heaven be so still? It was more like a statue in that, rigid and unmovable. It seemed rooted to the ground, as if it had sprouted there over night. How intersting, for the sky to come from the ground. 
 
 Maybe it was a watcher? Those star covored eyes refusing to blink so as to see every day and night, every sun rise and set. Those eyes must have seen so much beauty and wonder. 
 
 I decided to leave the watcher alone. It does not sit in the yard anymore, but I like to think it went back to the ground, sprouting elsewhere to see the stars it was made from.
