Descending faster and faster into nightfall
The cool darkness enveloping me, comforting me, caressing me
The black sky like silk wrapping around me
       as I fell further,
further.

Speckles of stars splattered across the night’s canvas,
penciling in the constellations,
weaving an intricate web to catch me
       as I fell further into the depths of the night.

Cooing winds spun all around me,
whirling in playful cyclones
in and out of the web of stars.

I smile as I fall deeper into the night, perfectly content.
       As has always been,
       as always will be.
