Universe

In a person

By Rachel WhitePublished 5 years ago 1 min read

A billion rays of starlight are trapped within his skin.

That sounds dumb, but hear me out.

You know how they talk about auras?

And how everyone has a color or something like that...

Well. He is the stars.

A mystery but so incredibly bright.

And we can all look at the same sky and feel something different.

That’s him.

So incredibly capable of making people feel unique, but the same.

Its like he's the thread pulling me back to a level of sanity I never knew existed.

Catching people in a butterfly net and showing them the ground.

It's so incredibly easy to fly to far from whats real.

Somehow though... he can tie you to the earth,

but still open the whole universe in the palm of your hand.

He shows you that you don't have to leave what’s there to dream... to fly.

But the craziest part,

Is he does it without knowing.

He does it while still lost himself.

Because his pain is only a diving board into the pool of possibility.

The pool of light amongst the stars.
