Shenanigans

Perilous are the days that swam and yearned for the rising of the moon. Whether it be raining, the stars are still above and saying, "We will always shine for you."

Remembering the days that used to be, but no more sorrow as the light is brighter and the sun is warmer, a feeling of joy and difference. Changing are the tides that used to carry me home. Don't you think that's nice? The night is my friend and we are going to the ball next month.

It wasn't planned, but even unplanned things seem to ride as smoothly as the best of anything. No words, just beautiful meanings in the eyes the shade of the night sky that I seem to be so fond of. Why though? Yes, why. Its vastness reminds me of the ocean I love so dear, so of course, its depth and wonder capture me as well.

Though forever is a long time and I don't know how ready I am to face it. Maybe in the morning, dear? Yes, yes, morning shall be just right.

Yet it isn't forever and so this time and place will live for now in the abundance of what we make it, be it beautiful or painful - either way, trudge on and laugh as you would laugh on the heights of a tottering swing. Take this, it's from me.

The days grow longer and I greet the sun much too early for my eyes. Forceful and wise, but very gentle are the winds that meet me as I walk from my home. Good, very good.

Laughing in the face of danger, what a jolly line. Awakes me from my fear and wanting to sit inside all day. Rubbish that would be, one that sits inside all day. They would miss the stars! Oh, what a crime, what a crime. For I love them and they love me just as much - maybe even more, but they haven't told me so. That's okay though because if they won't love me, I know the ocean does. Beauty resides in both, so of course I could not resist their wonderfully different traits.

Lovely were the days that cares were none and free did the imagination stir free from its tethers. Loving the guiding swirls that took me there and back again. Always there and back once again. Every step different, every thought changing as the tides swell and fall away.

Couldn't you wait just one more moment? Yes? Good, very good. But the night is approaching, I must go and see my stars.

I must go to whom I love.
