Releasing yourself to the stars, you feel elated, vibrant, at peace. For once, finally at peace. Problem is, in doing so, you condemned her to walk through the mud alone. You held one wing while she held the other. Her hands reach skyward, a silent prayer on her lips. You fly in ethereal bliss, unaffected. […]
I thoroughly enjoyed the magic of exploring the stars in this piece. I once left my body, Off into the night, Not into a dream, Nor into my mind, But careening into the sky, Imitating a cosmonaut, I found myself in an ethereal state, Riding the coat tails of a comet, Like a wandering gentleman, […]
