I couldn't sleep last night, so I thought I would go for a walk in the little woods with the creek, to try and settle my mind. As it turns out, the woods are bigger than I thought. I followed the creek for what seemed like such a long time, yet almost no time at all. After a while I found a little clearing, there were some big stones in the creek bed, and when the water rushed over, it looked just like a little waterfall. Everything was so perfect, silent and beautiful, but most beautiful of all, was the stars. They seemed to be brighter than I had ever seen them before, like they were twinkling in a way that just seemed so much lovelier than what mortals have a right to see. I just had to stand there for a little while, taking deep breathes, drinking in the sweet night air and searching the skies. I'm not sure what I was searching for, and I'm not sure if I found it, but I think I did.
Well, what DID I find, exactly? I don't know how to describe it. I was like peace, but it was like excitement! It was darkness and light, weakness and strength, even like life, and death. It was everything and nothing, all at the same time. Of course, by now I was beginning to be sleepy so that might have all just been exhaustion. But I don't think so, it was just too magical!
I never ever want to forget how I felt last night, so this is how it was.
It was like Stardust had fallen into my eyes, and everything glittered and shone like precious gems.
Like Moonglow and Starlight were mingled together and flowing through my veins, like molten silver and gold.
Like the stars, though millions upon millions of light years away, like the stars knew I was there watching them, and like they were happy. Happy to see me, to know me, and to share their light with me.
I tried so hard to see the constellations that everyone loves, but try as I might, I could not. It made me so sad to feel like even though the stars knew me, I couldn't know them the way every other mortal can. My feeling were almost hurt, like the stars had hidden them from me.
I gazed into the skies for hours, absorbed into the never ending abyss of space, and all the mysteries it holds.
I'm going back tonight. I'm going back to see my stars. They are waiting for me. I know it. And I'm not going to leave until they show me a constellation.
