Mercuria

I derived the name "Mercuria" from the word mercurial.

 

Today she watched the stars fade.

 

With paper pieces scattered at her feet, she basked herself in the regale of rain, seeking emancipation from the stillness of her mind.

 

So she thought of coldness - both the frost that lingered in the air, and the sound of snowflakes that broke with every heartbeat. Cold was beautiful.

 

And she thought of warmth - both the ardent sun that shall kiss away the freezing darkness, and the comforting touch that will gently set a flicker of fire in her soul. Warmth was beautiful.

 

Everything to her was beautiful. Nothing was mundane, or trivial, or pointless. She saw meaning in the smallest of thoughts; loved the obscurity of the abstract; knew that there existed the unforeseen; and understood that the future remained clandestine.

 

Yet though she believed so, she knew one thing to be eternally unbroken and incessant - the Soul of the Cosmos; The Hand that wrote the raging starlight; the sapphire Sun of her darkest days; and the golden Moon of her starless nights; the Life she continued to breathe; the Love that gave her the missing half of her soul.

 

And the rain halted its cadence. She was free at last, from motionless notions, for she knew inspiration had come upon her. Planets started to align, supernovas began to collide, chants of glory echoed through the universe, angels set off to fly. It was all coming to life in black ink on paper pieces. It unfolded before her eyes, and she knew that the next idea was yet to come. The rest was still unforeseen. Her mind was always as unpredictable as the world. But even so, she knew there were things that were bound forever. She would always love the Love, and she would always love the soul.

 

And tomorrow she will watch the stars fade.

I like this format and concept. You really know how to play with formats and present your message well through it.

You have great choice of words, well painted imagery, and very well imparted message.

very cosmic :)

Good concepts--original, untainted. Intricate and beautiful imagery, though not overwrought at all.
