A Meteor

Once I found a smooth round rock split perfectly in half.

I was sure it was a meteor that landed in my yard that night.

It was a size of a cantalope, but shaped like an egg,

and the insides were perfectly layered with little crystals.

I spent a lot of time in my yard.

I knew that it was something new.

It was magical and mysterious to me.

I never bothered asking mother what she thought.

I just just knew it was a meteor

and I was very lucky it landed in my yard.
