The earth inhales
within the stars
and exhales life
through beating hearts.
With the moon
it coincides,
Carving life through the ocean tides.
I watch it breathe
in front of me,
back and forth the
white waves breech.
Salt and sand
caress my skin.
At my toes
my feet step in
and in that moment I am……
an extension.
Linking the universe to a human connection.
……A new world
of mysterious treasures.
In, out, under, and above the waters.
I’ll set out beyond
the pebbled beach.
Tiptoeing atop a
cradle so deep.
Tiptoeing infinitely into
calm waters, just me.
Even lurking sea creatures
Far back, turned away,
Though this place they have heard of,
And by rumors they acclaim.
Comfortable now in a midnight frame
Deep seas and dark skies playing games.
Mirroring one another,
apart but the same.
A reflection of a universe,
Not one can proclaim
***
See there is a story being told.
A universal understanding in an omnipresent mold.
A new diamond world
Behind and a far
A shiny jeweled dimension to show how tiny we are.
Where only it’s silent.
Tenderly I step,
balancing on the edge of the blue
far enough I’ve crept.
Outside now of chiming tocks
For time is only that,
which is measured by clocks.
I’ll wander deeper into this abyss
Meteorites ignite skimming fingertips.
And it dawns on me, where the sun can’t shine
I am a piece to this puzzle of life.
A critical part,
with a need to understand,
but knowing answers only give,
once we’re gone and dead.
So I will stay here tucked away,
isolated from the inevitable.
Wandering alone
with my alien-eyed binnacle.
In this expansion,
we can’t be the only life.
Which makes my tiny jigsaw piece an even BIGGER prize.
And there is one thing that I hold true,
that’s when I do depart,
although my life ends here on Earth
my energy will light the stars.
This is my fantasy story…
Have a wonderful week everyone! Thank you so much for stopping by!✨❤

Delicate indeed Stephanie, and far-reaching go those arms of yours, I particularly like this part
‘See there is a story being told.

Yes, we have much in common methinks.
