“From Rocks to Stars”

.

.

.
 
.

I awoke to find a Feeling lying beside me saying something was missing.

.

.

.
 
.

I took the Feeling by the hand and we went looking.

.

.

.
 
.

We looked under all the furniture and found nothing but dust of my powdered memories.

.

.

.
 
.

We looked in all the rooms, and found only the empty places in my heart I choose not to dwell.

.

.

.
 
.

The Feeling pulled me outside, and we looked into water and saw the deepest currents of my dreams, dissipating in every direction, without ever sharing meaning.

.

.

.
 
.

So we looked under rocks, and found only my pain and anger huddled together like salamanders, never coming out to greet the peaceful sky.

.

.

.
 
.

And as the night fell we sifted through twilight, squinting when my doubts and fears would flash at us like harmless fireflies.

.

.

.
 
.

We looked up at the night sky, and in the stars I saw your face, and it reminded me of Love, and the Feeling let go of my hand, opened its wings, and whispered in my ear,

.

.

.

.
 
.

“I’ll see you tomorrow.”
