As light fades and darkness rises the most beautiful flowers bloom,
glimmering crystals, beneath, above, a spiraling nebula
The wind is stardust kissing my lips, filling my lungs where oxygen is none, and brushing light as petals against my pale skin
The celestial fields cradle me and display a spectrum before my eyes, clusters of all colors, a painting of the galaxy
By midnight soft voices, enchanting spells of dark matter, reverberate through my mind
clearing the static, the shadows, the fear
For once, everything is so gentle, so peaceful, so loving
Until dawn rises and I must return from my place among the stars
Where I'll wait for the harsh daylight to settle,
then return to my gallery of constellations in the heavens
