Once Upon a Night Sky

I look at the sky,

Close my eyes,

Take a deep breath,

And those once faraway stars

Come closer to me.

The darkness fades to light.

I open my eyes,

And there I am,

Gliding amidst the stars.

I spread my wings and fly.

I feel the wind on my face,

Fondling my hair.

I see the many colours,

And many wonders

Of the once-believed night sky.

I move from cloud to cloud,

I spread my wings and soar

With the eagles…

As I go higher, I realize

I am soaring

With magical magnificent mythical dragons.

The colours,

The wonders,

The beauty,

All enchant me…

- Another deep breath –

I feel the cold stony surface underneath me,

I hear the waves beside me, crashing,

I feel the wind blow, but not playfully.

I look around…

Everything is cold, ordinary;

No magic.

But...

I look to the sky,

I see many shiny

Twinkling little stars

And then,

I remember…

Opposites Attract

As electrons and protons attract, so did they. When fire falls in love with water, the balance is shattered and pain and suffering ensue. The sun and moon can never linger long enough to ease each other’s longing. A tiger and a deer cannot be friends even if the tiger sees more to the deer than just food and fulfillment. So couldn’t they; she a woman and he a wild white wolf.
