Trailing stars, shower me in your celestial dust. Let me shimmer with pulsing light from galaxies afar. Moon, kiss my skin alabaster white. Divine set me free from gravity, let me fly into the depths of creation. I will search orbs of light, orbs of…

Void

I dream of you, your caress like the velvet touch of creation’s light. I do not know your face, nor your name… yet I feel you across the great expanse.  Your silence is the deafening void before the dawn, the sweet nectar of night soothes…
