Astral Projection.

Within the realm of dreams, wishes come true.

Alone he sat, bathed in starlight.
Whispering deep within the night.

Wielding his scribing utensil of cosmic render, dipping an inkwell cauldron of light.
Parchments lay strewn about cast of lunar-silver essence, glowing softly.
His pondering eyes reflected deep thought.
Picking up a chosen moon-sleeve, he writes one final text.
Scribbling something important, he turns reprehensibly toward the East.

Sol yawns, preparing to tuck the darkness in for its slumber.

"One wish before I go.."

He hurriedly cast his page toward the heavens.
Taken by the breeze, dancing upward.
Shining brightly, illuminating the space around him.
Disintegrating to ash as it burns out before his focused eyes.
His sight longs up as if waiting for some kind of answer.

A streak of light cuts through the diamond inlaid darkness.

He gasped

"..Ohh.."

His posture still as a statue.

Anticipation.

*pat pat pat pat patpatpatpat.. *THUD*

An approaching collection of foot pints vibrate from the East.

"Uggg.. hmph.." *pat.. pat.. pat pat patpatpatpat..*

He stands abruptly.

A delicate figure flails about in frantic approach.
Her silhouette sketched within a quickening horizon.
The hand of day reaching out for her as she desperately struggled to out run its grasp.

Her gasping breath murmured.

"I'm not going to make it.."

He darted out toward her stumbling desperation.

"Maybe just one touch.. if nothing else." he resolved in full sprint

Gap rapidly closing,
They lunged for each other.
Catching hands in a skidding flurry.
Sweat bineded with tears upon her face.
Hopeful eyes met to waltz within one another,
gracefully dancing together, if only for a moment.
He reached to steal a tear from her cheek, smiling.
The fiery hand of an un worthy star wrapped around her torso, casting her ablaze.
Eyes, still waltzing together, oblivious to anything else.

And then .. Ashes.

Awe.
You posted this on here?
^-^
I'm not sure if I want to post my stories just yet.
I am still undecided on this one thing,
and it's unfinished. >.<

Part:2 Ugh!

Do you know how hard it is to write of the constellations you silly man?
^.-
Just kidding.

[Astral_Tides]

Uh-huh.. I love this one.. it just flowed out of me like so naturally.
And as well it has a special inspiration and essence attached to it ; )

I'm sure your Rembrandt, Einstein mind will find the proper pieces when the time is right.
Your immaculate writings have their own reactor which brings them to life, and the power to bore the life of many others in their wake.
I have learned a great deal from your expressions my dear.
So thank you : )

[Theartofburning]

Pfft!

I'm going to share a secret.
I wrote more to this review,
and it didn't show.

Ahem!
As I was saying...

I did not expect this when you wrote it,
and it was enchanting to read,
and I thank you. ^.-

[Astral_Tides]

T'was my pleasure milady. This would never have existed if not for your talented touches.
So thank you in return ; )
